big surprise
seriously its about time that the phone get pulled its one of the worst phones ever its a shame though since it showed so much promise. would have been an awesome sidekick kill if it didn't suck so much.
...
true that.
everytime someone came in wanting one i tried my best to get them with another device, now i have great reasoning to!
any idea why? besides the overall slow performance?

Let me shed some light on this subject from personal experience. On top of the crappy touch screen, the handset had a lot of hardware bugs that couldn't be fixed with an update. I
I wen't through 4 handsets in a 4 month period. The first one i had, the ear speaker blew the second day i had it.

There really was no way of telling if the Quickfire was going to be a piece of junk or not.
