Don't you think it's odd that you would expect to hear about these problems somewhere else? Do you expect to learn about them while reading the newspaper?
Obviously, some people are going to lie about problems with their phone so they can get something better. But, you're really just making yourself look like a jackass. There are several problems that dozens (probably hundreds) of users have experienced with the eris, many that deal with the trackball. That's poor manufacturing, not pathological lying.
You just proved my point JackAss, Thanks!
If there were as many problems with the ERIS phone as are indicated here by the % of post . Then YES, I would expect to hear about this Major manufacturing problem in many other places, among which, a business or trade related newspaper would certainly be one.
It's a numbers game genius - It is theoretically impossible to have such a high % of people - JUST ON FANBOY FORUMS all suffering from the same problem. and NOT have that same % or close to it with the same problem out in the real world as well.
Its obvious you know nothing about Business or Consumer Electronics Manufacturing and even less about Math.
Do yourself a favor, First STFU then, go add up all the track ball problems posts just on this forum. Not even trying I found the Dozens you boasted of and you are right, there may be the 100s as well.
Now this may be the hard part for a rocket Scientist like you. But you will need to do some basic math now.
How many Real people are there in the ERIS forum, Real meaning only one S/N? A few hundred? a thousand? Whatever, Figure out the % who complained of the identical problem After you do that and see how High it is! research how many ERIS units Verizon sold in the last year, apply the same % to that # and you would have a MAJOR Manufacturing Nightmare in the making. Possibly at recall levels, but certainly at a level that there would be News about it somewhere besides a few fan Boy, Wannabee Hacker Forums.
Thanks for Proving my point, Next time Think b4 you speak.
