My orignal N1 had problems with a pink tinge on all photos, erratic touch (surprise!) and very slow wifi speed (it could take up to 30s to load a page from a high speed wifi connection).

I finally sick of this and so called HTC and requested a RMA. Since Ididn't want to be without my phone I chose the option where they send you a refurb, put a hold on your CC and wait for you to send one back.

Anyway got the replacement phone, put the SIM card and SD card in and sync'ed it back with Google. Most of the apps installed okay and there was a firmware push to 2.2.1 [As an aside, I lost data on most of my apps so the Google sync doesn't seem to sync the data in applications]

The new phone seemed to work better with faster browsing and hardly a trace of the pink tinge but now randomly reboots. What's worse is when it reboots, it goes into a reboot loop and the only way out is to remove the battery.

Also when it reboots, often it cannot find the SD Card and I have to reboot again.

Finally when I move apps from Phone memory to the SD Card I get a message error in moving application (or words to that effect) but I can try again and it works. The SD Card is fine and I have done a CHKDSK under Windows to make sure it has no errors.

So I called up HTC and they are going to send yet another one. I sure hope this one works okay else yet another RMA.

What sort of QA do HTC do anyway?

Just for s---s and giggles did you try backing up sd card, reformatting with sdformatter outside the phone then copying data back onto card. If you do use full erase option on sd formatter.

Of course, if you have an ext you will need to repartition before copying data back to card.
