It depends. If you're okay with messing around with the DX rather continuously to get it to work, keep it. If you just want something that works, no fuss, get back to WalMart as quick as you can and dump this POS.
Mine worked reasonably well the first few weeks. As apps were added eating up some cache and processing power, some weird things started to happen. Then 2.2 OTA upgrade came, weirder things started to happen.
If Verizon would give me a full refund at this point, I'd drop whatever I was doing and drive to the nearest Verizon store.
Does that answer your question? Just read all the threads here and see the titles with all the different problems. Is that what you'd expect from a good phone? The sycophants will try to shout down the people complaining or you would see ten times as many negative threads and posts.
Come back and give the Android OS a try when they hit V3 or possibly will require V4 before it is really stable. Just try doing something simple like cut and paste for some text with this phone. As fundamental as that is, just look how difficult it is to do it. That should tell you right there you should dump the piece of junk.
This whole post is foolish. This kind of post is, in fact, exactly the same - though on the opposite end of the spectrum - as the so-called sycophants that you speak of. Of course there are lots of problems listed in a forum - that's why people come seeking knowledge usually. It's no different from going to a car forum and finding it full of posts with car problems.
I am no sycophant. I had an iPhone previously, and if I thought the iPhone would work better for me, I would have it now. I am a long time employee of the IT industry and have spent a lot of time looking at pieces of technology that work well, and some that don't.
My iPhone usually worked pretty well. My iPhone would occasionally not wake up from sleep, requiring a hard power-down and reset. My iPhone's browser crashed with regularity. Several times it ceased to boot and I had to do a full reset and restore of my phone. During the iOS upgrade to 4.0, my cell data ceased working entirely. Restores didn't fix it. The solution? Restore it as a new phone. So I would lose all of my text messages, application data, game data, etc. Why? Oh, that's right, the closed ecosystem stops me from backing anything up on my own outside of iTunes.
My Android phone works pretty well. It has rebooted on me a couple times, one time during a frustrating moment where I was navigating. That made me mad at it. Once, it stopped transmitting my voice, requiring a reboot. Very infrequently, Launcher Pro gets killed by the system and re-loads when I press the home button.
There are problems with all phones. I am sorry that you seem to be having lots of problems. There are lots of phones out there - at least 5 in my office building - that run fine, day in and day out, with no troubleshooting or difficulty.
Your over-the-top comments are no better than the fanboys who scream that Android can do no wrong.
Also, yes, copy and paste sucks on Android at the moment.
