- Hold down the home button
- I'm not even going to answer that as its opinion
- Not that I have seen..My only glitches is when it doing a mass sync up
- It's had 1 or 2 updates. I'll expect more along the lines as well for it, but I wouldn't hold grudge against HTC if none are forthcoming, as I would assume efforts are on a 2.3 gingerbread sense version.
- Sensor issues fixed just about
- Opinion once again
- Depends. Using loud speaker or headphones?

Majority of these questions could have been answered using the "search" facility.

loud speaker and what happened when you did a mass sync?

I don't have opinion to loud speaker as I don't use it.

Everything has a slight slowdown, from what I can see, when it does a mass sync, it puts all sync info for facebook into contacts and then calendar then live feed and then everything else you got syncd.

Because contacts sync's with Google and HTC sense hub, everything goes into slowdown.

When you first get it, the battery life will be horrible. After a few charges it improves markedly. Assuming you're actually attending lessons/lectures/etc. and not spending the whole school day web-surfing, watching YouTube and doing the MySpace/Twitter thing you *SHOULD* be able to get a school day out of it.
 
As much as I love the phone, the speaker is absolutely awful. Its only on the odd occasion that I've had to use it but when I do it's about the worst I've heard on an phone.
But as the phone is so good with most other things I'm happy to ignore the speaker issue

does't really worry me i don;t listen to much music i got a mp3 for that but does't it have SRS and Dolby
 
You can never ever play music to your friends to show them an awesome song etc. You will be utterly humiliated by the downright abysmal quality.

The sound is the worst I've ever heard from a phone that can play something else than polyphonic ringtones. My Nokia 6300 sounds like a dream compared to it. You cannot watch or show YouTube videos to someone else; your ears will hurt because of the horrific quality. I'm not joking, I couldn't do it.

I wonder why the hell the speakers are so friggin' bad on such an expensive phone.
 
I don't see the point in a front camera :p

The "3G telephone conversations with camera!!!11" was a fad, a particularly bad and unsuccessful one.
