I disagree that there are not problems with this phone... this forum is FILLED with numerous complaints and many... BT alone for an example is a problem that would have Verizon needing to exercise their great but expensive to perform customer service. They would be exchanging phones like crazy... with no fix available yet... now what sense would that make and how much money would it waste AND how much hard fought customer loyalty would it erode?

Just for the record and as a matter of disclosure... I am waiting for the phone myself but am more than happy to keep chugging along with my i730 until then. As a Realtor that depends on his phone as one of the most mission critical tools I use... I would rather wait until it is right. Hey... no one is perfect and who knows... maybe it will come out and still have a problem and I will be wrong, but in my experience thus far with Verizon; I am hoping it will all turn out fine.

I won't argue with you that there are issues with many of these devices. My point was that we really don't know how much of this is the devices themselves vs the software the CDMA companies are installing. Following the success of many of their other devices (primarily GSM) I would tend to believe it is a compatability issue with the carriers software.
I think if Verizon sold as many HTC devices as Samsung, Palm, or Motorola there would probably have been better time frames. I also believe if Verizon thought the PDA market was larger there would be more effort as well.
I also never said there was nothing wrong with this device.

Like I said before this is my opinion. (no hard feels/arguements just opinions)
