I just my Intercept 2 days ago, whats with all the negative press??

I just the intercept for Virgin Mobile.

Despite what some have said about this phone,  I wanted to give it a shot.  It as between the Optimus V and this phone.  I cant stand touch screen only keyboards - so the Intercept won.

What are these people talking about?  Is it because of Froyo, that now makes this phone great?  

Not a single lag issue, not a single slow down (unless im running 10 apps) - so does my Archos 101 Tablet (runs 2.3).

So whats the problems? is there something I'm missing?  Or did i get the only non crappy Intercept they make?

This is phone hell of a phone.  This completely destroys my blackberry 9300 - not even a contest.  I used only blackberry because of the email issue - now with K9 Mail - it is just as reliable.

Thanks
Joe

Its all the bloatware people install that lags this phone.  People need to research what they are buying before they buy it. This phone has no GPU so of course its going to be slow when you play games, its not meant for that. Its build for being a phone, text, and web with a nice UI and basic apps.  That's it, and that's all it will ever be.  Future android updates aren't going to change that. 

So when you try and pack 100 people in a vehicle with a Ferrari body and a 4 Cylinder engine.. expect it to slow down.  Run your phone lean and you have no problems.  If you try and pack your entire home computer experience in this phone, your going to be sorely let down. You want that? Get a Optimus V.  I didnt want it because i hate touch keyboards.

After running this phone that way for 10 days - i have not had a single slow down - or lag issue.. not a battery pull.

Keep this phone to what it is.. a nice phone.

I actually use an alternate launcher (go launcher ex) and it doesn't slow the phone down at all.. its also very very functional because you can stop apps very quickly and all at once - looks great.

It was leaked in April that Motorola is going to make a nice droid to VM.  If it far a nice upgrade ill probably get that. So im looking at a year with this phone.

When was it upgraded from decent beginner Android phone to middle of the road?

 

App killers are extremely bad for the Android. They interfere with how the operating system on the phone (Linux) is designed to work.
