no mobile that can play NES games is worth ditching.

What a loaded goodbye message.

Good God man, its fine that you got bored and wanted something else. You don't have to incite arguments like that.

I keep hearing how this is such a big phone? I used to own an O2 XDA-EXECUTIVE which IMHO, had the best form factor for a phone, but that thing is HUGE!

If I am not mistaken it was one of the if not the fattest phones released in that year or since for that matter.

We're Trojan-free for one reason, and that's because we are not popular enough to be worth attacking. Compared with Android's capabilities-based security, we're really not even trying. (I'm not complaining here -- I'd rather not have that security layer in the way -- but facts are facts.)
so true, but I wouldn't overestimate apple or google either, they may well be incompetent. I can't speak for google but apple have already shown that they don't really check what an app is doing or is capable of with the tethering app disguised as a flashlight.

tl;dr: too much phone for op, would rather more candy/prefer senselessly reversed 'linux' distribution with a haphazardly optimized dalvik vm atop it.

I made the opposite move several months ago and I don't regret it. Android is the new iPhone, except the zealotry is slightly more justified.

I guess if going through loops (depending on your carrier) to be able to perform simple command line functions on a 'linux' device is your cup o' tea, by all means... have at it!

come on people, no need to defend a flaw. he has a point one handed contact search is a hassle if you have to slide the keyboard open. We need to start treating peoples criticisms with respect or even better, a possible solution.

Sorry, I still think that's hilarious.

I've never used the keyboard to search the contacts however. I would use the alphabet shortcuts on the side of the screen and yes, I use one hand.

Not really. All you need is to set the Contacts app as a shortcut on the desktop, press it in portrait and use the alphabetical sorters.
