Newbie on BB (5 months) and some serious thought´s about going back to Nokia. I´ve tried BB with subscription plan and am definitely sure it´s the best for work and e-mailing. Not my case; don´t need e-mail on the go. Just use the BB as a "normal" phone. Great phone and great software but the disadvantages, I think are bigger for me than the advantages.

-Installed Autolock but can´t find icon anywhere; though it´s listed under 3rd party apps. Have done a lot of unwanted phone calls due to BB being in the pocket with speed dial on. Has happened with 1/2 other apps. Any help ?

-GPS: big piece of S...T ! BB default app doesn´t even acquire satellites and 3rd party ones have a **** of a time doing so. Why did it even come installed with gps ?

-Aah, the dust issue under the screen after 5 months. Seems like the Sahara. Not gonna send it back to another country where it was bought, for service. Who´ll pay for S&H ?

Besides this it´s a great phone but could do the same with less than half the price Nokia & a TomTom for all the countries I travel to. (Even if I had a subscription plan, GPS´ing in roaming would do what the FMI is doing in my country: treating bankruptcy !).
