About to be on my 4th 8525...any other replacement suggestions? Tired of problem

Ok I love the HTC 8525, but I'm tired of replacing my phone. This will be my 4th one since January.

1st one- keyboard kept sliding out-real loose
2nd one- screen eventually faded to white at will and would randomly show and not show
3rd one (got 3 weeks ago)-touch screen works periodically...usually doesn't work when I need it to, and the menus would open and close all by themselves. I wouldn't even have to be touching the phone sometimes

(of course my husband has had one that's worked perfectly)

ATT is sending me another replacement, but I'd rather sell this and get something with less bugs. I'm tired of calling for replacements. Does anyone have any suggestions on a phone with a qwerty keyboard, wm6 if possible, bluetooth and a camera??? Im not a treo fan. I don't HAVE to have wm6 as I liked nokias s60 OS too, but something that I can sync my outlook email with is nice.

Please recommend ASAP. I'm so frustrated.

Try a treo 750 it was very solidly built when I had it. Durability seems like your issue

hmmm. Yeah, they're just a little bulky though and everybody has one in my office. I don't use anything more than the email features. What about the nokia E70 unlocked? I know it doesn't have 3g but I really miss nokias durability and ease of use.

have you tried looking at a nokia e61i its a pretty nice device, not to pricey. ive had it a couple of times, works good with a exchange server, camera is ok screen is awesome .i have also gave up on my 8525, ( i installed a few wm6 roms) and just got bored of it or tried of dealing with the little things, if you have the cash i would also look at the nokia e90

Get a blackberry.I also had the 8525 and finally had enough on my 13th replacement.And they switched my 2 units to blackberrys,and I am very happy.I'm not easy to please.Everythin the 8525 does for you the blackberry does it better

no keep making them replace but tell them you do not want a refurb you want brand new no more BS. hope and pray it hoses up with the kaiser is released on at&t and then gripe until you get it as the replacement ;-)
