I think tomorrow is my day for the Q9m. I will be rid of the horrid HTC Touch (XV6900) and either get the Q9 or go back to my very stable two year old Q1. It was evident in a few hours that the HTC had endless issues that I couldn't solve; and I have a BS in computer science and ten years with pda's and smartphones. I know a hopeless cause when I see it. LOL My "guess" is that whatever bugs the Q9 has, they can be solved as the basic design is sound. What's a shame is that there are a significant number of bugs in these devices whereas there are very few in a Blackberry. It's not complexity. I see glaring bugs in the VZW GIN phones. Imagine a phone that completely stops because of an email notification; can't even update the clock. How about a GIN phone that has a fixed "screen saver" that comes on after five seconds. Imagine how fast you have to type and think on that one. None of these devices is perfect but how much time RIM or MS took to work things out is what matters. MS is a software mill. Vista has updates every day and we are the test mules. |
