I hate to admit it but I miss my Instinct.  This is the second Pre I've had & both had the same issues.  The accelerometer is screwy, sometimes the screen will flip completely upside down & will stay that way.  Sometimes the screen will change to landscape view for no good reason.  The screen blacking out is the worst problem however.  When attempting to enter my password for voicemail, the screen constantly blacks out when my finger gets anywhere near the dialer pad.  It's almost comical trying to catch the keypad before it blacks out.  It goes back & forth continuously.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I'm thinking of going for the Samsung Moment or HTC Hero.  There are some positives about the Pre, but the bad outweigh the good.  I'm disappointed there is not onscreen keyboard since the keyboard is so tiny.  I hate the fact you cannot forward texts also.  I do however like the fact you can have multiple apps open at one time, that was one downside to the Instinct.   Angry

I just thought of one other major problem.  Sometimes I can't disconnect from a call because the screen is totally black.  The phone won't even power off when this happens.  I'm concerned since this is the 2nd one I've had, they will all be like this.  Any suggestions?

If you like the features, I would keep asking for new phones until you get one that works correctly.  It is unfortunate that you have had these problems, but don't let them deter you from sticking with the PRE.  I have heard some good things about the phones you mentioned (except the Instinct, everyone says that phone sucked), but as I say all the time, the multitasking capabilities of the PRE are unrivaled.  Other phones may have additional features that the PRE lacks, but they can be added with OTA updates.  They will never be able to change the way they multitask.

Killer-feature for me is the way the Pre handles notifications. I would also return the phone until you get one without issues, I can't think of any better phone right now.

As for the keypad problem, make sure you are not covering the proximity sensor when you go to enter your password. The sensor is on the top right of the screen.Also I went through 3 of them before I got one that worked properly and for me it was worth it.

Do you use them for good, or for awesome?
