I did find it sluggish, though - especially when rotating the screen. I fixed everything using Advanced Config, so that I wouldn't have to use a custom ROM, and I was able to add touchwheel functionality to programs like the contact list using it as well.

I bet it's lowered expectations.

You think I like to find problems? I would much rather NOT find a problem with my expensive, flagship device.

I can't wait to check out the Xperia X1 tomorrow. For some reason, it REAALLLY bothers me that I can barely use the edges of the on-screen keyboard. Hitting the A is really tough, for me. Why have such a nice screen to only manufacture it so poorly? oh well

Um...doesn't the Touch Pro have a slide out keyboard for typing messages? I'm just saying

Are you saying that you slide out for every text message? That's just annoying. Especially for something like "alright," or "okay." If you use the hardware kb, you end up spending about twice as much time.

Even if I didn't use the on-screen SIP, I'm still pissed that the phone doesn't work as it should. You can defend the phone all you want, but it doesn't work as it SHOULD... that's the big deal, for me.

I guess my expectations aren't as high as yours I know that there are manufacturer tolerances on any mass produced item and these tolerances can lead to different experiences for different people. I have had probably 20+ of these devices over the years I received most of them from Sprint insurance after damage of some kind, in all of then there has been a lack of sensitivity around the screen edges, I expect it so I adapt. When you have a screen of this type it can be affected by things like temperature for example, its material composition can allow it to expand and contract causing different levels of sensitivity around the edges. that is why it has an option to recalibrate you can find this in settings. Forward facing screen bottom line is the most retarded thing that any manufacturer ever did because of the possibility of manufacturer tolerances and changes in atmosfer and temperature causing sensitivity issues. I like Windows Mobile and until Manufacturers change screen types to something a little more stable there will always be people who don't understand these issues and have problems with these screens. If you like the Windows Mobile platform you need to adapt to your device. IMHO this is why HTC usually makes a qwerty equipped device for all there more popular devices those who type a lot wont like typing on the screen because of the sensitivity issues. Now for the bottom line on this issue these screens aren't perfect they are not going to be so you need to adapt.

Over hearting, broken plastic dimpled screens, screens that wont calibrate... obvious manufacturing issues like these are good cause for an exchange so please do.

The screen insensitivity is an obvious manufacturing/design defect as well, but you're right, there's no point in exchanging the phone, because they all seem to have this defect...

I wouldn't even call it a defect. There is virtually NOTHING that can be done about it. Basic physics. There is more resistance closer to the support.

How is it not a defect? The Touch, Mogul, and Apache did not have this issue.

The only ones that have the issue are the Pro and Diamond.

Alrighty,

Shipping back my phone to WireFly to be replaced, crossin my fingers for an 11/6 build or later.
