[Answered] [Please Lock] Is there such a thing as a perfect Touch Pro? - Page 10

Seeing that this thread has resurfaced, I will say that the hardware buttons that were once barely sticking out on my device are now very obvious on the left side (Home and Send buttons). At times, I have to realign the button before I can use it. I have always left it in the case that came with it and have yet to drop it or anything of the sort. However, my brother does have a Touch Pro that does not have this problem, so I would definitely say there may be something to the speculation about the first Best Buy batch.

I got mine from Sprint (internet) and it has the hardware button issue (home button side slightly raised). This is my third one. No, there is no such thing as a perfect Touch Pro!

I doubt it was Best buy, but the build dates. Best Buy also sold the phone for a week before the release date. It is not only plausable, but highly possible that they got the first shipment of phones, AKA the first phones to come out of the factory.

wow, this took an ugly turn.
Scrap, we're not going to see you on here complaining about the x1a panels being sluggish, are we? or that the keyboard doesn't have enough feedback and is too dimly lit? or that the screen can be unresponsive? or that wifi hangs and is slower than the other phones? or (and this is a big one) that the battery life is actually equal or less than the touch pro (even though it's bigger?)???
these are complaints i've heard by users and reviewers, so just brace urself. just like the pro, not all users find these problems, but they're out there. there may never be a perfect phone for u, but at least we wont have to see your repetitive complaints in here anymore

You might wanna get one from Sprint.

I got mine from best buy. Satisfied with mine...

I never said you were too stupid to realize you had problems, but I can see you being stubborn and not wanting to admit you have issues. If I dropped the equivalent of $700 on a phone, I'd defend it too. Until I see some evidence that the phone no longer has heat/charging/screen/battery issues, I have no reason to believe the phone is a viable work device. The majority of people seem to have one major issue or another, and having owned 6 of them, and playing with another 5 in stores, I am convinced that nearly all of these devices are flawed.

Your personal insults only make you seem more childish, regardless of whatever vocabulary you might muster up. I almost think that you are having regrets, and you are trying to justify yourself.

Man this thread really did take a turn for the worst since I posted yesterday. Seems like you can't have a discussion without some name calling and flaming these days...

Anyhow, for anyone who paid $700, i truly feel sorry for you. Cause this thing definitely doesn't live up to a $700 piece of hardware. Personally, I only paid $250 for mine. I can see why you would be pissed if you shelled out that much money.

Secondly, how can you make a general assumption based on the devices that you've played with or owned, a total of 11 of them out of how many released in the U.S alone? I'm sorry but I just don't see how you can make an assumption based on such a small sample size.

That's like surveying 11 random people and taking those results and concluding that those results are valid and true. For the most part, people come to forums because there is something wrong and they need help. How often do you see a person come on here and say, gee my phone is perfect, I love x y z about the phone? It just doesn't happen as much.

And I really hope the mods close this thread. Scrap, can't you just delete the whole thing, or is that just one post?

Bad analogy, it's unfair to compare these devices to people unless the people you are refering to happen to be clones of each other. These devices are made in a factory with all the same parts and are supposed to be identical in every way.

Fair enough. It's like owning 5 of anything electronic and playing with 6 more and saying that all the products are defective..

Better?

My point was...you can't make a general assumption on a such a small sample size.

they are obviously are not all identical. My boss bought one the first day they came out & it has so many problems he returned it in

& bought a Blackberry.

My TP, on the other hand that came from ebay has none of the many problems his had.

Bad analogy, you are talking about 11 random electronic devices. Doesn't fit in this case. If you go to the store and buy a Panasonic plasma television and it turns out defective, return it 11 times and find that each set is defective, it's fair to assume that the manufacturing process is defective (lacks proper QC standards). These manufacturing processes are automated, so repetitive errors of the same kind are definitely more than just a coincidence. Lots of user reviews of the pro around on the web that succeed the articles written list the same errors/manufacturing defects. (Not everyone has these issues, but a large part of the TP population pool has them)...I have the same overcharging heating issues as well, I've learned to live with it because it's either this or some other crappy sprint phone for me. So given the choices or the lack of them, I'm sticking to the Pro..for now.
