I wanna love this phone but it has major issues . Issues I really hope get ironed out with a Froyo release (official or not)! Im comin from a Jailbroken 3GS which works much better , email comes down , rarely lags (with less inside!) and things were smoother. Im no fanboy , i switched to Android happily and voluntarily.
My main gripes :
1) Very laggy and choppy UI . I get delays (sometimes for 3 or more seconds) doing things from email to text to switching home screens. not everytime but enough for me to post this .
2) The email client is terrible and replacing it with K9 doesnt really solve the problem due to the above and that K9 isnt quite there yet - feels very late beta
3)Touchwiz - nuff said ( ive rooted and removed all the AT&T crap and use Launcher Pro
4)The phone simply has to many issues to have been released , its like they rushed it , cuz these issues are minor but together they are major
This phone is so great in many ways :
1)Screen is amazing
2)Form factor is beautiful
3)Android is superior in its customization , it really becomes YOUR phone
4)The support community is fantastic (and leans more towards the geek )
5)It feels great to get away from Apple
6)An app for anything you wanna change about the phone exists X3
The fact that I see im not alone with all of this saddens me , i really wanna love this phone ! If i see no improvement by my 29th day ( i bought on the 18th , 1st customer) , I may have to return . Help me Froyo , your my only hope ...
