Your biggest GRIPES about the phone?

- Thats really about it so far. I have had a fairly easy transition from BB. BTW, I saw that VZW has a 2100mah extended battery in the system for $60. Has anyone seen this?, it must have a different back cover?. If it doesn't drastically transform the phone into a chubster might be great.04-29-2010 05:41 PMLike 0

- I am coming over from Crackberry. I just ordered it online last night. Right in time before they sold out online! Anyway, should have it by tomorrow. Can't wait!
They say the first time you experience android & sense UI, it's amazing. I am wishing for it to be amazing. Tired of blackberry's "familiar" [to users who used BB in the 80s] OS.04-29-2010 08:44 PMLike 0 - I am really concerned about the back cover breaking. Plastic clips all around the entire phone, especially around the charging port, make it difficult to remove. I removed it twice today -- once to put the battery in, once to swap in my 8GB card from my Storm -- and thought I was surely going to break one of the clips. Doesn't seemed designed to be constantly opened up. I think if in the future I buy a battery from VZW I will have tech support at the store install it... that way if they break it, they buy me a new cover.
Other than that the battery did seem to drain a bit faster than my Storm 1, but I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of battery for the amazing speed. Seriously, the web browser is amazing. It blows away my Storm, and I had co-workers at work (who ALL have iPhones) drooling at how fast pages were loading/rendering.
Other than that, just not knowing the phone or the OS. Learning curve with customization and figuring out how to maximize battery life.04-29-2010 09:08 PMLike 0 - After using this phone for the past few days it is the ****. The battery is less than desired. I will have my siedio 1750 for the eris tomorrow, so I will let you know if thats any better. I hope it adds some weight to the phone. Otterbox better get on this wagon soon.04-29-2010 09:08 PMLike 0
- Is there any way with the stock SMS/Android vs. Handcent/Chomp to make it so the same SMS from the same sender isn't all lumped together in a single "conversation" thread?
Coming from my BBPearl, say 'Joe' sends me 3 SMS's, they are 3 separate SMS's that I can read/delete individually. But with the DI (and yes this is my first day with it, I know DI noob!), is there any way or another SMS app to make all the SMS's even from the same sender separate like on BB's?
Not a deal breaker, but I get lots of SMS's from people that I either delete or keep, and with now a long "thread" SMS conversation all bunched together, I don't want to say delete or save the whole thing.
Thanks!04-29-2010 09:24 PMLike 0 - No gripes so far. Nice phone. To those that talk about it feeling cheap.....there's a definate difference between feeling cheap (Pre) and Light. This phone is super lightweight. I must admit I do like the feel of it better with the crappy case I bought at VZW on it. Can't wait for some quality stuff to come out for this little gem. Now back to playing with it I go!04-29-2010 09:37 PMLike 0

The VZW screen protectors, well that's another story. I'm going to return them tomorrow. With just the factory protector, there's prints/"goobage" all over the screen. So, I'll need a full front protector soon!04-29-2010 09:41 PMLike 0 - Is there any way with the stock SMS/Android vs. Handcent/Chomp to make it so the same SMS from the same sender isn't all lumped together in a single "conversation" thread?

However, the rest of the phone clearly makes up for me having to review Facebook notifications manually within the App...
Other than that I love the phone, damn keyboard is amazing compared to my storm and the internet/app tasking speed is blazing fast.
Also I was skeptical but need a case bad so I bought the body glove and love it ..not otter box rugged but very rugged.04-29-2010 10:02 PMLike 0 - I only have two gripes during half a day of exploring...
Just can't get my work exchange account to setup properly. I hope it's a configuration thing on my corporate side and they can address it. Otherwise I'll be bummed.
One of the apps I was most looking forward to downloading was an LED flashlight. There was a BB one, but it wasn't free. My friends with Moto Droids had them for free and I was jealous...so far, I still am!

Apparently on her Palm Pre[Plus] she has a single conversation thread, but can swipe(delete) a single message, so she can keep only the received messages she wants, but still have them in one single thread.
Nope, Palm Pre[Plus] can have both.04-29-2010 10:41 PMLike 0 - 04-29-2010 10:42 PMLike 0

You make me feel like I made the right choice, I mean I know I did, but battery life is always an issue but heck what phone gets great life anymore except BB's and my curve gets a few hrs but if I open an app and forget to close it, it takes forever.
I am guessing that everyone with this device that nobody is closing apps and that is why battery life is low?04-29-2010 10:49 PMLike 0 - Is there any way with the stock SMS/Android vs. Handcent/Chomp to make it so the same SMS from the same sender isn't all lumped together in a single "conversation" thread?
