Like many users my N1 isn't exactly perfect but I have putting up with it since day one (release day) since I like what the phone does when it does properly.
I have touch screen accuracy issues, mitigated somewhat by having a silicone case around the phone and using Swype and occasionally pressing the power button off and on to get it working again. My camera has a pinkish hue which HTC said I should try to remove by doing a factory reset. My wifi isn't exactly great with it taking often 30s or more to download a page on my home wifi and with the latest firmware, my GPS seems to be erratic.
The phone hardly ever can get a lock on the satellites when it's in the car on the dash which makes it pretty useless as a car GPS device but outside it seems to lock on okay. Occasionally if I an outside and get a lock, then take the phone in the car, it maintains a lock.
This was never great but got worse it seems with the latest firmware. The phone itself isn't rooted.
Reading the horror stories about refurbs and having to go through more than one I just wonder if getting a refurb is going to help me. I would go the send refurb to me first route so I wouldn't be without a phone during the swap and possibly send the refurb back if it wasn't working properly.
I presume it's highly unlikely that HTC has new units to send out now for warranty replacements?
What do folks think?
