Those of you that know me know my ongoing battle with my phone. For the longest time I had this HUGE brick phone called the PPC-6700. It was functional it just wasn’t high in fashion. I have had the phone for a very long time and I decided I was going to upgrade when the newest version of the same phone came out.

HTC released the newest version called the HTC Touch Pro and I bought one the day it came out. I dropped a LOT of money on this phone. I do not have a lot of cash to throw around as a poor graduate student but nonetheless I figured I would keep it just as long as my PPC-6700 so it seemed worth it.
Well it has been a nightmare. I myself typically subscribe to the “wait for the kinks to be ironed out” on most things but I jumped the gun. To be fair, when the phone works it is AMAZING. I love it. It is feature rich, I can download tons of applications and program things to my liking.

However, there is a major flaw that is with the biggest reason I bought the phone. The keyboard just stops working. I am now on my 3rd one and I am about to take it back and exchange it. I stumbled across a thread on PPCGeeks.com that said the flaw is with the ribbon cable popping off. Even with reattaching the ribbon cable, my problem is not solved.
I am VERY disappointed. I am considering purchasing a Blackberry because I cant stand not having a true keyboard. They are making good progress with onscreen keyboards but I just cant stand to use them. I am a much faster typer when I have a true keyboard.
