Just got my QD!! I love it except..

..I immediately notice a few things.. (some of these are no big deal, I can get use to them)

1) Font is fugly. Couldn't they pick a better font? Its so 80's
2) Display layout is fugly. Clock is on top left and the AM/PM is 2 lines below it. Why? Then you got this ugly spectrum of orange/black/gray that has no meaning. Or does it?
3) Icons are fugly. The icons here look worse than Windows 3.1 icons. I hope theres a way to change this.
4) Button layouts are awkward. I'm used to holding a game controller (like XBOX or PS2) and you pressed w/ your right thumb to Select, but here you have to press w/ your left thumb. Then Menu and Game key can be used sometimes alternatively to Select, and sometimes not. So I end up pressing the Game Key and it starts my MMC game unintenionally.
5) Limited colors? What is up w/ the palette? I read somewhere here that you can unlock 3 more colors, but why limit that?
6) Unfoldable prongs on the AC Adapter. No big deal.
7) Small size for my big hands. Kinda cramped when your playing. No big deal cuz if it was any bigger, I would feel a lot geekier.
8) Software Issues. a) To-Do notes dont have reminder alerts and does not sync w/ Calendar. b) Cannot delete some shortcuts in Go-To. c) Contact's Birthdays do not show up on Calendar.
9) No camera I knew this of course before I bought it. But I guess you cant have them all.

Now for the good stuff..
1) I love everything else about it!! It rocks!! Woudnt trade it for for a GBA, DS, nor PSP. Dont want to lug around a cell phone and gaming device, so this is the perfect 2-in-1 solution. The best part is.. its FREEEEEE!!!

I'm waiting for my 1GB MMC, MMC and Bluetooth Adapter.
I hope that would get rid some of the nuisances above after I install some apps and tinker with it some more.

What about the saying, "You get what you paid for?" In this instance, you got a lot more than what you paid for. At least I did when I got the QD for $50 from T-Mo, which I believe it is one of the better phones they offer currently. Its all good tho.
