HTC 8925-Tilt Cell Phone

Cons: unreliable

Summary: As previous reviewers stated, this looked like it would be the greatest phone/pda on earth and I was an enthusiastic owner when I first purchased it. The longer I owned it, the more I hated it. sound quality with every brand of bluetooth headset was so bad I finally gave up using them. The Microsoft operating system, surprise, does what all microsoft products do. It slowly deteriorates and randomly fails. First, it mysteriously stopped syncing with my computer. Then, the alarm function on the calendar stopped working for no reason. It no longer hangs up reliably when the screen is in powered down mode. It crashes often enough that I have to remember to save data every time I do anything important. The software appears to have been designed by the microsoft desktop departement because there are sometimes three to five "clicks" to get to the command you want, which makes navigating a nightmare on a handheld device. Often the button you want switches places from right to left depending on the screen, or isn't intuitively in a logical spot. The slide out keyboard has rounded buttons so your thumb may slide and hit the adjacent key, and the sensitivity of the keyboard is poor so typing with it has caused me to consider taking high blood pressure meds. Handwriting recognition randomly stops working until you turn it off and then on again. There's more, but that's enough. You get the idea. I'm not ever buying anything microsoft or HTC product if I can help it.
