SonyEricsson G900 disappoints me

It is the second time my phone requires service attention. And the problem is exactly the same as it was the first time - the screen either suddenly goes dim and all colors become dark or it fails to light up at all when the phone is waking up from the standby mode. Often prior to unexpectedly dimming the screen the phone starts reacting on navigation commands in a sluggish manner and usually smooth transition effects when switching panels now become staggering.

It was just this summer when this has been fixed by replacing the TFT matrix. I can hardly imagine how cheap these TFTs should be to exhibit faulty behavior that frequently. Seems like the MTBF is approximately 6 months.

Looking around for a better options I can hardly think of any good alternative amongst the plenty of all these smart-phones, communicators, etc. They just don't look reliable. Indeed, with the current manufacturing rates we will very soon be buried under a large pile of such cheap sh*t. What a nice prospect!

These little things cannot even replace firewood if it gets much colder one day. A Darwin award is awaiting for you, people! Keep going.
