I just spent $300 on a phone that doesn't do everything right out of the box? wtf? I'm all for tweaking and all that crap but c'mon.

My main gripe my be a foolish one but it's driving me insane. When I text I type entirely too fast and the words on the screen are delayed to show up. That's retarded. My old Q was able to keep up...

I think i'm going to try out the Instinct next...I know everyone around here seems to hate it but thats cool...to each his own.

One thing this phone has going for it is that keyboard, it's amazing. Too bad the phone can't keep up with the keyboard.

whats funny is he's said hes owned alot of ppcs, I've owned alot also (6600, 6700, 6800, now 6850) and he said this was the worst one. Thats strange, the 6700 or apache was promised to have ev-do but didn't even get it, except with the updates, and those didn't even start till after the mogul was released. The mogul was horrible, didn't have gps for half the time it was out, and the ram on that device was horrible. i don't see how you say those phones were better out of the box then this one.

I never said I owned a lot, I stated I owned a few. I never said this was the worst one either, I stated it was disappointment.

Do you know how to read? You should do it more slowly next time you dumb *****ing bastard.

If i decide to keep it I get the phone for $175 + tax n shipping, if I don't decide to keep it and return it I still get $125 in credits and adjustments towards my account so either way its a win win situation.

Haven't really flashed or anything to it yet because still debating on if I should keep it or not and just wait and see to get the HTC Touch HD

If you are within 30 days, you can return and have your contract reset.

I took mine back to BB today, and am now out of contract. I may get the Palm Pro in January, or the iPhone when it hits Costco/Sam's club after Xmas.

yeah, it sucks that all these phones have to live up to the iPhone but someone needs to step up and make a sick *** phone..

No...what's funny is he did not say he owned "alot of ppcs," nor did he say "this was the worst one." You completely misrepresented him.

hey someone mentioned the hd, sorry to inform the hd will NOT be comming to us, neither with sprint, nor anyother carrier, guys you need to remember all the compaints you have on message forums, regardless of where, people that work for these companies see them, they have special groups that do nothing but "blend" into the forums all over and get feedback, something to think about next time you complain about something stupid sprint did to you, but to get back on topic, ive had two instincs, actually their is nothing wrong with the phone, to be honest i feel like it's faster then the pro, try it out, and if you don't like it you can go back to the pro within about 15 dats or so, can't change to something diff but you can go back, call sprint and explain ... you might have to lie a tad, god forbid, but just explain, if your denied try another, it'll get done

go ahead and call me names, but your the dumba$$ thats complaining about his phone. I don't care if its a few or alot, obviously it more then 2. then you complained about it not working right out of the box. 1st i believe all ppc's are winmo, hence pocket pc, not pocket treo, pocket blackberry, etc. Also you said its a dissappointment because "I've been reading threads about hacks for better battery life, and hacks for performance, new roms, etc...." "I just spent $300 on a phone that doesn't do everything right out of the box? wtf? I'm all for tweaking and all that crap but c'mon." Hasn't every ppc I named needed "hacks for better battery life, and hacks for performance, new roms, etc...." So it is funny that he's complaining about those perticular problems when every ppc has had that. I'm trying to remember a ppc that had good battery, guess i'll be stuck on that one for awhile

My experience with the Pro has been 50/50. After going through a massive battle with Sprint over my instinct dieing for no reason after 4 months of usage I finally got them to trade me for a Touch Pro. The first one I got had an antenna issue that the phone would not receive 95% of incoming calls, ever. So finally I got my second TP and the lag drives me nuts. I love what all I can do with this phone but it is like owning a semi retarded phone. Another problem I have is when I get atext message, hit reply, open the keyboard, begin typing a response and the phone randomly pulls up the contact list and I have to exit all over again to get back to the text message. It is pissing me off, when I hit reply and open the keyboard it should stay on the message screen. I have debated changing the phone out but there is nothing else on Sprint that even comes close to having all the features I want. I will say the Instinct can suck mine and it is aweful, but it did respond when I touched it. I can deal with battery issues and what not but the extreme lag is getting to me.

Your Pro is defective, exchange it.
