assumptions assumptions, which is funny because you actually are assuming i'm smarter then i actually am.
i've only had a couple palms and they had many well developed stores but i didn't have a credit card then and i don't have one now, i couldn't manage the payment system. i have also just tried to buy an app that i couldn't because i didn't have a way of paying for it on the google android market. those other phones that had many stores were closed source stores which makes it a much more money driven game and therefore stores get well developed faster because they are more profit orientated people making the stores who know how to make stores that i don't take one look and and say omg that looks like crap then i look around in it and realize it is crap and they only sell a hand full of apps i don't want. all sorts of people are making apps for this phone who don't know how to make a store and since they didn't accept debit on the google store i haven't been able to buy any apps i needed. as for trading it in for a iphone until development of the gphone gets to a better point rogers apparently has a 30 minuet limit for trading things in for other phones however i am currently trying to track down all the parts for my gphone so i can trade it in for a new one. i only got a third party app yesterday and i've had it for a long time now, it's mostly the shake awake that crashes and acore or something main processing sounding, i think it was gaps. ps the most annoying thing i have found was the fact that the small screen is so hard to manage apps with, it would be so much easier if i could manage it on a large screen so i could slide around my apps and make things fit nicely into the shortcuts and get the contacts in by file not singly adding them from my old phone.
