I really welcome the 'back to basics' focus by OM. However, I'd echo what other people have said - for me, the 'basics', are ensuring that the phone works as a phone. My FR is sitting in my backpack, with my SIM in another phone - I missed several calls and wasn't able to make calls on several occasions because the FR got into a strange state and refused to make or answer calls. I missed other calls because the phone was suspended and didn't wake up quickly enough for me to answer the call before it went to voice mail. Then I stopped suspending the phone, and missed calls because my battery had died.
I would *love* to go back to using my FR as my phone - but I can't do it until I'm confident that I'm not going to miss calls, and that I'll be able to make calls when I need to. For me, there are 2 'basics' that need to be met before addressing any other issues: 1: rock solid phone performance - making / receiving calls 2: enough battery life that I can make it through a working day without having to plug in the FR - this can be either through increasing the battery life, or by fixing suspend mode so that it's reliable and doesn't break #1. Until I'm convinced those items are addressed, my $400 FR is going to remain turned off in my backpack, and my friends who bought iPhones will continue to laugh at me for 'wasting' my money on such a 'phone'. *please* give me some ammunition to use against them!
