Seriously no offense to the people who can't help but complain about this phone, but smartphones are like economics. You have to look at the patterns.
Please, give me one flagship phone in the past year that didn't have any problems. Be it the screen, camera tinge, battery issues, weak feel, dropped calls, AUDIO SKIPS AND POPS (looking at you X2), or just plain laggy. This is part of the new phone process. Yes, I agree "well I shouldn't have to settle for a $300 phone," but if you hold that mentality, you're going to be disappointed with every $300 phone you get. I imagine this trend will continue for AT LEAST another year. There's always going to be something. Just like video games. There's always bugs and it takes a few patches to really get everything worked out.
I'm interested to see what happens with the new iphone. This will be an ultimate test for it's true reliability. But, you always have those outliers. So even if it is perfect, still guarantee all others won't be. Trust me, I'm android and PC 100%, but I'm not going to be in denial and go into a furious rage because apple releases a decent product. But, that discussion is for another day....or every day at every minute just somewhere else.
