Guest Doctor HRH Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 No, that's normal. At first it bothered me - new handset replaced by second hand - but then if I'm getting a replacement with bugs ironed out then I'm probably better off. Most of the time we wouldn't notice unless they told us so I don't think it's anything to get upset about. Am I making sense ? :( Yep, you're definitely making sense! In fact, come to think of it, the P990i I've been using for 9 months or so was an Orange Care replacement - and was in perfect condition (til I dropped it and scratched the bugger!!). It's been absolutely fine. I suppose even if you got a dodgy replacement, it wouldn't matter cos you could just send it straight back again and get another one. That's what you pay them the money every month! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disco Stu Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I agree with you. Apart from the occasional slip of the thumb onto the IE button, I love the hardware keypad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Touch Screen Junkie Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Well, my HTC Touch Dual's somewhere between Manchester and Bambury in a Royal Mail Special Delivery bag!! Sent it back due to the faulty screen, but not sure I'll be getting another one to be honest. Back to using the old P990i. Amazing how much I took it for granted, but I've realised that it's actually a REALLY good phone. Buggy and slow at times, but overall, with its wifi, excellent predictive text and rather good 2MP camera, I think for now it's the best handset for me. I've been thinking - whoever you are reading this - are you being honest with yourself about how good this handset really is? I know I was carried away on the tsunami of Touch Dual hype. It's just not quite good enough - the lack of WIFI, the rubbish camera, the over-complicated input methods, and the TouchFLO feature - very funky but lacking any real practical usefulness, just a gimmick - all of these factors make it, in my humble opinion, definitely not a candidate for the best Windows Mobile device ever - not even close! Yours with a slight feeling of sadness :D and a lot of disappointment, Harvey (the Student formerly known as Doctor HRH - what a cheek, daring to choose that name in the first place before I'd even finished my 1st year at Med School :) ) Edited January 12, 2008 by Touch Screen Junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to choose which user name I want or can I, under these exceptional circumstances, keep both??? :) Edited January 12, 2008 by Touch Screen Junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours with a slight feeling of sadness :) and a lot of disappointment, I cannot help but agree - I had high hopes for this device after reading this thread - but it just didn't live up to them. OK, it's nice to look at, and it has some flashy features, but as far as the basics of sending and receiving messages and making calls go, it's no better than my old Qtek 8500! Now there's a device that deserves a successor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
