Jumping Ship

I've come to the unfortunate decision that my Diamond is going to have to go back:(

I really like it, or should I say I really like what it SHOULD be. I cannot see how HTC can release a device with so many bugs - what sort of half arsed testing did they do?

I appreciate alot of these issues will be resolved with a new ROM release but I can't justify £450 on a device that has so many problems - for that sort of money it really should have been less problematic. I gave it a chance but I'm increasingly frustrated by one thing or another not working and I'm not the most patient of people. I work in mobile IT so its not as if I don't understand that things don't work out of the box but I would never have released something with so many problems.

My contract is up in October so maybe I'll get one then for free and hopefully the ROMs will be more mature. In the meantime - WAKE UP HTC!!!!

Anyone got any suggestions on what to spend my £400 on now? Therapy perhaps?

Ha! And that one?

I'm typing this on my BB 8310. I used to hate BB's with a passion but I had it forced upon me from work. Sure, its GPRS not HSDPA but you know what? It works! And with Opera mini its just as fast, maybe not as posh but much more usable. I can't remeber the last time I had to reset and the battery lasts forever. I still love HTCs innovation and they're hard to beat when it comes to WM phones but I really am getting tired of their slapdash approach. Fair enough much of the issues are WM issues but this is still no excuse.

Anyway, sorry, rant over. Probably the only thing that I will miss is the YouTube application and that's not worth 400 quid, I'll stick with my work BB for now...or at least until I get bored/depressed/hungover and buy another over hyped toy.
