T-Mobile, SDA -- Piece of Shit pt. 2

Navigation on the device has a serious flaw that I haven't seen in an interface in a long time. There's sometimes a lag when jumping from one screen to the next. So on the main menu, you click down twice to the "text messages" option, hit select to jump to the inbox, then start clicking down to select a message from last week you know exists in your inbox.

Only, the jump to your inbox doesn't happen right away.

So you hit select on "text messages" and start navigating to your inbox before the screen shows up. Since you know the message is old and several clicks down (or you've memorized option locations so you don't need to see the next screen to know you need to click down three times) you start clicking down before the screen appears. But rather than caching the down clicks and applying them to the screen you selected, the navagition happens on the original menu. Then when the phone does jump into your inbox those clicks are gone and have been wasted. You need to do them again.

It's frustrating. When I want to play "solitaire", I should be able to learn to click the "start" menu, go right twice, down once and then select and I should be able to do that without having to wait for the screens to catch up. I should be able to do that blindly, while my phone's in a coat pocket. Instead, this stupid phone forces me to wait for it rather than allowing me to use it as quickly and easily as possible.

I know I mentioned I'd sell it for $150, but I think with ever post I'll drop the asking price by $10. $140. Do I hear $140?
