A Day in Paradise

I haven’t heard anything but pain from users of 8100s and 8800s. One of the guys I work with had to send his back 3 times before he got one that worked. The other guy is on his 2nd phone.

Stella has the 8100 ‘Pearl’ and I just got off of an 1 hour and 12 minute call with t-mobile and RIM. Basically it was crashing during its boot up and not getting to the point where you could even reload the OS software. I went through a million steps, including disabling the power on my USB hub from my system control panel.

One interesting “feature” was a strip located near the battery which turns red if it gets wet, nice way to determine if there was water damage to the phone.

Anyway, I am 100% happy with my 8700… I have kicked it across parking lots, had it fall out of my pocket on several occasions, and dropped on a concrete floor by an over-ambitious colleague. It still runs great!

I am tired and rambling, so I’ll stop. When is the google mobile wifi device coming out anyway?
