My problems aren't as severe as some of you guys are discussing.
I've had a few apps close out unexpectedly, but that is probably because of problems with the app and its developers.
Sometimes when I'm talking on the phone, the screen will flash on and off very rapidly for a few seconds. It's pretty distracting, especially when you're talking in a darker room.
I also had the "blank screen" issue when I want to hang up from a call. It's particularly a PITA when you're recording a voicemail for someone, then can't hang up the call until you remove the battery or something.
Most of all I think the physical keyboard is worthless. I don't know how many times I've mistakenly hit the ENTER button when trying to hit a question mark or the DELETE key. Oops, there goes my unfinished message yet again. The D-pad is useless and just takes up space and really dislike having to press the tiny ALT key to type numbers. Is it too much to ask to put a friggin row of number keys on there like pretty much all of the dumphones?
It's a nice phone and I love some of the apps and the Android OS, but I'll be returning it and going back to my trusty old enV until some of these software issues get worked out or a better phone is released. No sense in taking a chance in waiting past my 30-day trial period until the mid-December update comes out just to find out that problems still persist. I can always come back to the phone if they are resolved, and Verizon is supposed to come out with three more Android phones in the next month or two.
