Hi all.
Is anyone in the same boat as me, whereby you're tied into an 18-month contract with this phone, with a reasonably expensive tariff, and can't do anything about it? I want to like this phone, and I love the whole Android thing, and the apps, and the whole smart-phone concept, it's fantastic. But the phone really lets me down.
It's ok, but it's slow and jumpy and lags a bit. Little things annoy me like when composing a new SMS, typing in the name/number, when it is trying to search through your contacts attempting to match the name/number, it lags like a bitch. And if I start typing too quickly the automatic capslock does not turn off on the second letter, so my words look LIke THis WIth THe FIrst TWo LEtters OF EAch WOrd BEing CApitalised.
When I go to People and try to scroll through, it's jumpy and laggy. Not smooth. When I slide across at the bottom to go to Updates, Groups, Call History and Favourites, it's slow and laggy.
Making calls and dialing is slow and laggy. Opening/loading simple things like the Weather (when tapping on the Weather widget to look at it full screen) is also slow. Don't want to wait seven seconds for that. Shouldn't have to.
The alarm keeps failing to work. I never use my shitty Sony alarm clock on my bedside table, only for the time, but I'm now having to set this as well as a backup incase my phone's alarm doesn't go off. It's a complete gamble on whether it's going to work one morning to the next.
Scrolling through my list of All Programs is jumpy not smooth and feels unresponsive.
List goes on...
Anyone else feel the same? Anyone feel regret? I know someone who just got a Desire and now I'm comparing my chunky thing to his all the time. Anything I can do?
Oh well, only 16 months left until I can upgrade... [/rant]
