Re: 4 and counting...

So you assume that because you have had no problems that everyone else should have no problems? If I do buy a new car and a week later it pulls to the right, does that mean I should keep it and hope for the best? My phone shifts to the right almost 1/8", is that proper design? The one I did get that was solid and did not slide had about 4-5 dead pixels, is that also my fault because I wanted a phone with a fully visable screen? "If you wanted to see the whole screen you should have bought an Instinct" FYI, I know what direction the phone is meant to open in, umm up. I do not try to slide it, I push it up, but the phone "slides" to the right and sticks some before it opens. But I guess because you all assume I am sitting here with a glass of milk waiting to twist my phone in half and eat it, it must be my fault.

Re: 4 and counting...

Honestly, if you are so particular over this oreo effect, give up on the pre. You think Palm, or Sprint for that matter, can afford to give you 4 550$ phones... If you were in my store I would have denied it after the second exchange. The phone will have some give, no matter what. If its bad now, imagine how it will be after 6 months of use. And I can guarantee you that 6 months from now, they arent going to just throw you another one because you claim its defective. Every pre that I've held has some give, so get used to it. Hell, I don't think I've ever used a slider phone that doesnt have some wiggle in the hinges...

Re: 4 and counting...

STOP WHINING!!! I'm tired of seeing people complain that the phone "gives a little" when you TWIST it, dont twist it!!!! Go ask 100 touch pro handlers and ask if their front housing "twists", OF COURSE IT DOES!!!! I have seen people complaining about the smallest lil things on this phone, its a phone! If you want to complain about it that much then get rid of it, if you like the phone, then deal with it, your not gonna change the way Palm is producing its products by whining in this forum.

No it means you should stop running over pot holes and then go to the dealer and take advantage of the 12month 12k( depending on manufacturer) mile warranty on the alignment of your new car. But you are absolutely right. The oreo thing is a common problem. I went through 3 of them when I bought mine at best buy and just picked the one with the least amount of play. it sticks here and there when I try and open it one handed...not really a big deal, but I'm just going to wait a couple more weeks and exchange it for a diff one. All you can do is live with it, exchange it till you get a perfect one, or return it and wait a while till the QQ gets a bit better.
