"Love the OS, hate the phone"

The good: Runs Android - great OS. Finally got 2.1 upgrade (although buggy).

The bad: Sloooowwwwwww. Pocket dials everyone all the time. Difficult to use as a phone.

Summary: Remember when you could call people on your mobile phone? I miss those days. Eris is so doggy slow the phone app delays picking up, or keyboard is delayed when entering conference line codes or deleting VMs. Without a doubt, Verizon has turned a wonderful OS environment into the worst mobile phone experience I've had to date - even worse than the Blackberry Storm (OK, maybe not quite that bad). I'm considering resurrecting my old razor so I can do my job again.
