I hope some of you out there can help...

I am now onto my fifth Samsung i730. The features are great, but the instability is killing me. I need a phone that I can rely upon, and this is simply not it. I don't know if it is the phone, or the OS... I have heard other friend's nightmares who are trying to use WM on other phones. I just want something stable. I find myself missing phone calls left and right, while the phone is in one of it's 6-times a day lockups requiring a reset...

I use the phone primarily for telephone, e-mail, text, contacts, and calendar, so I don't feel like I'm pushing it too hard. And yet, it is constantly locking up...

If it was simply stable, and did what it is supposed to, I would be thrilled, but it does not.

Any recommendations on a phone that is stable, or any meaningful fixes for an i730, or recommendations to get out of samsung devices or windows mobile altogeher? I'm willing to sepnd some cash to make this nightmare stop.

I'm one step away from bailing on this altogether and settling for an iPhone or blackberry. Your thoughts are anxiously awaited!?
