Agreed, I believe no phone is without faults...or at least not perfect. But then again, it is objective to say that since most people have different views of what is or isn't ideal to them. Since this is a fan site of Windows Phone, there is a lot of cognitive dissonance amongst the community. -Not that I'm stating that you or anyone else on this thread is guilty of it, but one things for sure...the 1520 to me is not the perfect phone. Don't get me wrong, I love my 1520's, but after owning/(still own) other Nokia phones, disappointment is the only word that comes to mind. The 1520 feels like a beta phone to me. Something went wrong during the quality assurance testing with this product and I truly believe that the 1520 should have not been released until all controls were properly tested and all issues were fixed. -But then again, that is my own opinion.
If there are people who owned the HTC Titan (at least the ATT version) the past...they know exactly what I'm talking about. The ATT Titan suffered from horrible antennagate issues (which at times was completely useless as a phone) only to find that HTC screwed up with the aluminum casing and antenna modules. -What does HTC do to correct the problem? four months later...release a new product with a different enclosure, upgrade the camera sensor and call it the Titan 2 and that was that!
Phones are 600-800$ pieces of hardware nowadays. Proper quality controls better be in place for consumers to get what they pay for.
Am I happy that most of the phantom taps are gone? Of course, but think about all those other 1520 users who have moved on since it has literally taken months for a proper fix? Does it negatively impact the company? Of course!
/end of rant.
