I have been using a Lotus. I owned the original Lotus and the current one. It worked pefectly for what I need a phone for. Unfortunately I now need a phone that can run apps. I won't bore you with why.
Anyway, I got the shift. I have found 3 very annoying issues so far.
1. When the phone is plugged in the led doesn't flash if there is a new alert. That makes absolutely no sense to me. According to the owners manual this is not changeable. It flashes when it isn't plugged in. Unfortunately the battery life sucks so I leave it plugged in at work. So in order to see if I have a new alert I have to pick up the phone. I like being able to just look to see if the led is flashing. This is also helpful at night when its plugged in on my nightstand.
2. I have a Platronics bluetooth headset. When I receive a call it doesn't tell me who is calling. My Lotus did and I love that feature for times when I don't want to look at the phone.
3. It doesn't push email with my hotmail account. I assume it doesn't push with any email accounts but I haven't tried a different account yet. I mainly use hotmail. I know it is old but I haven't found a reason to switch yet. My lotus pushed properly.
I stopped by two different Sprint stores and they both told me there is nothing wrong with the phone and that is just how it is with androids.
So now I need to decide what to do. I like the features of the phone but the above listed issues are enough reason for me to return it.
Am I missing something???
