So, I'm getting frustrated with this phone, I have to say.
First, it was the battery issues. That seems to finally have resolved itself.
Then it was the incessant re-starting of the Sense UI, and the random re-booting of the phone. I chalked that up to the fact that I got an early phone, so I exchanged it.
With my new phone, the battery seems to be great. But there are still issues:
* Lag with switching to portrait, and lag on the portrait keyboard.
* Lag when switching screen to screen.
* HTC weather app is always unable to find weather for my location
* YouTube not working after the update.
* Having to clear cache and close apps in order to keep phone performance running smooth.
* 3G / signal issues....still.
I consider myself pretty patient, but I am growing weary, to be honest. Here's the problem: what else do I get?
This was a new contract (came from a work phone, no personal account) so I have my choice of where to go and what to get. I am beyond the 30 days, and on my second Eris, but I have a note on my account that I am dissatisfied so I should be able to walk or switch. And after I call tomorrow about the YouTube deal, I will be raising a HUGE stink, so I should be able to do whatever.
I don't want a blackberry, I want REAL internet.
I don't want a Droid. I will miss Sense UI, and I don't like the form factor or the keyboard.
I really like Verizon's coverage. I live in a good area, but my in-laws do not and I am there fairly often.
I don't want to be on AT&T's network. Their coverage, even in the NoVA / DC area has holes.
Just got my wife an iPod touch for Christmas, so I have all the apps I need when I am in WiFi (house, dad's house, in-law's house, family's house, etc.) and we already have an iPod classic, an iPod shuffle (gift) and an iPod nano. So don't need any more portable music players.
Do NOT want a WinMo phone. My friend is a software developer / programmer and he says STAY AWAY. I listen to him.
How much of this will go away with 2.0?
Thoughts?
