"having to press the dial button (to answer a call) and hang up button (to end a call) continuously for 5 to 10! seconds before they respond [1]" I haven't seen this problem on my phone. It works fine on mine.

I agree; it won't win design awards :-) "the keyboard slider screeches ridiculously" Really? Mine makes a 'swooshing' sound.
