Great idea, needs immediate improvement
The phone itself is great, the idea is great, the OS software is in need of some more coding. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this phone, just the software it runs on. I am confident that RIM is working on whatever issues this phone does have with the software, and at that time im certain my satisfaction with this phone will increase. Right now i give it a 4, and yes, it needs soem work. As long as the update that is soon to be released though addresses the few quirks, which im sure it will, as it would be silly for VZ and RIM to spend so much money on marketing and not address follow-up issues with a product they released. Nothing is perfect at first. When was the las time you bought something and it was 100% perfect?
Pros
- beautiful phone
- the surepress is great, i like it.
- its on the best network
- MMS (how does iphone not have such a basic feature? it is like releasing a car without a trunk!!)
Cons
- needs only a software update to fix the few issues it has.
SUMMARY
If i knew there would never be an update to fix the software issues (as again, there is no hardware problems here at all) I would not buy this phone. However, i know for certain one is coming to fix the known issues in the next few weeks.
I already have this phone now and with the minor issues it has, i can wait for them to release some fixes. I give this a 4/5 as it stands now. As long as the update corrects the issues, i will most likely increase that to a 5/5.
