Treo 800w has been giving me problems.. Diamond??

Well, since you asked, people can't get upset...

Shared Problems:
-Poorly designed touchscreen. The borders are insensitive. This causes critical WM components to be hard to use. SIP, start, X/ok, and scrollbars.
-Heat/charging/radio issues (Diamond is supposedly worse.

Pro Only:
-Poor build quality--battery, buttons, d-pad, slider, backlights, spacing, you name it.
-Wretchid battery life, (compared to GSM model.)
-Intense delay/lag when rotating screen, (to enter a text, or something quick becomes pain in the ***, real quick.)
-Crashing in the middle of the night, (making the alarm functions, or emergency-use out-of-the question.)
-Battery drains even while plugged in, during normal phone-call use. No BT, WIFI, internet (which isn't possible,) or anything else going on.

Not EVERYONE is experiencing these problems, but a lot of people are, and there are quite a few fanboys who brush off the issues, and claim that they aren't a big deal, and find "workarounds." -- for example, people have tried using ice packs to cool the phone. Others leave the keyboard slid open to cool the phone so it doesn't overheat/crash/drain/etc. Others suggest putting under A/C vents... the list goes on, but frankly, I am not here to nurse my phone to health.

I love tinkering with Windows Mobile, and I don't think I can ever use another OS, because of who I am, and my job--but the Pro and Diamond just feel like they aren't quite ready for prime time.

The guy at the counter who accepted my return said that he was not surprised I was returning it. He said the majority of people who bought it--returned it (the Pro.)

To each their own, and some people may not experience ALL of the problems I list--like I did, but you will run into a few major ones, and it's your call if you can deal with it when it occurs.

Simply put, we should not have to deal with HTC's design/manufacturing/QC mistakes.

okay, that's all I will say on the subject, because people are tired of hearing that stuff--even though it's all 100% true... people on this site don't take kindly to anti-HTC stuff... most threads are not only closed, but completely deleted if you start pointing out flaws in the Pro...
