HTC Freestyle received 3-21-2011 with high hopes. Good inductive touch screen, and a plethora of `bells and whistles'. Sadly, it turned out to be a completely miserable failure. Spent 4 hours with AT&T trying to get it up and running. Very brief, poor performance before it ate two SIM cards DEAD! NO ACCESS to AT&T for calling ! ! Bluetooth didn't work properly, could only enable one B.T. device at a time. No additional B.T connection function / capabilities available as soon as one was established. Wouldn't connect with my intellitouch B.T. X Link at all in spite of being B.T 2.0 format which was supposed to be compatible. Music from Micro SD card when started could only be stopped by removing the battery. EXTREMELY difficult access to battery, SIM card and micro SD card. Takes FOREVER to "boot up" when turned on.
.
AT&T ultimately declared the phone faulty. This was one of my biggest disappointments after such high hopes and expectations. Maybe another one would be ok. Frankly, I couldn't stand even holding another. MANY
hours wasted of both my time and AT&T tech support `till they closed for the day. Started 6:15 PM with AT&T and Amazon, then both closed at 10:00PM. This exasperating POS can't go back fast enough.!
.
I hope you have better luck. Seems like some like it. I won't take a chance on another!

Update: Next day (3-22) Amazon Wireless (sort of a separate entity) amicably issued a UPS RMA. I'm returning the phone. REALLY
disappointed at this turn of events. Going back to my ond LG GU295 'slider'. I really think I might have received a (rare?) defective HTC Freestyle, but can't take a chance of acquiring a phone that won't link (bluetooth) to all my devices. The HTC wouldn't recognize my (bluetooth) Intellitouch X Link or my at all. The inductive touch screen was VERY GOOD. A stylish, well made phone that basically didn't work. >>Your results may be different ?!?

Slow transmission February 28, 2011

I had an issue with receiving texts late and multiple times. My father sent me a text at 12:22 and my phone did not receive it until 6:32 that night. And if I was not receiving the texts hours late, I was receiving the same text about 4 or 5 times. This phone also has about a one second lag time after unlocking it from being idle for 5 minutes or more. My Freestyle has struggled to keep up with transmission of information and has wasted more of my time than anything else. I took it back to get an iPhone after a week of putting up with the phone hoping it may get better.
