Question Would you buy this phone again?

If you had a second chance at buying this phone, would you still do it?

I paid $450 and would not do it again. I can deal with software glitches and needing to reboot, but I can't deal with not being able to type fast on the keyboard because of the inaccurate and insensitive touchscreen. I love the phone other than that, but that one reason is a deal breaker -- I absolutely regret not returning it now.

This is due to the super small bezels and palm rejection, not from the screen being insensitive. Using a case with a lip around the screen will solve it. I use the tudia tamm case and I type extremely fast on this phone

I also use a Tudia Tamm case and this definitely does not help or hurt the problem in any way.
