It was cool in the beginning however once HTC came on the scene the slide began sliding at a faster rate.

One major flaw is there were never strong improvements, they kept milking the product because it had a huge profit margin and was popular at one time.

I hope there is a major education moment here for T-mobile who I think for the most part is a good company. Between the Nokia 6160 and 6161, cheap phones sold at a premium price and the sidekick which as an old cow was milked toooooo long it has been a case of taking advantage of the consumers.

Today in technology one has to constantly be improving ones technology and upgrading or fall behind.

When a product is rushed to get out, QA always lacks, because QA gets the shaft with regard to scheduling. That's why I left that industry and have been happy ever since.
