I have had my phone about a month now, and I am sick of it. I have a couple more days before my 30 days is up, and I am seriously thinking about taking it back and going back to blackberry.
I have an EVO. It does some really cool stuff, the screen is awesome, great pictures, lots of speed. All kinds of really neat stuff about it. I don't even have a problem with the battery life, gets me through most days. I don't need it to last 3 days; I charge it every night.
So why can't I make it so it vibrates before it rings, so when I am in a meeting I have a chance to silence it?
Why can't I make it so it will alert me when I have a calendar event, and then, if I miss that alert, it keeps reminding me every minute or so? Same with missed calls and text messages. I would also like those notifications to sound different, and vibrate first, so again I can silence then.
To me they got ahead of themselves, and did some really neat stuff, but they never refined the basics.
I have been told to download several apps to handle these issues, and I have downloaded most of them. Maybe if I could ever get everythign set, such as turn this notifcation to notify only, this to alert, etc. etc. etc., then I could get it so it performs adequately. Most of those applications are still pretty buggy. I have only used free ones; I haven't heard of a paid app that handles this. If there was, then I would gladly try that. I have no problem paying for development for a really application. I don't necessarily want to give any money to some basement hack who has an app on the web that is about 80% bug free, maybe even 95% if you have everything configured just right, reboot every third tuesday, and walk backwards in to church every other sunday.
Is anyone else as frustrated as I am? If they paid a little bit of attention to the basics, then they would have a kick butt OS. Pretty frustrating.
