[QUOTE="sunburned, post: 9263169, member: 30336"] I had Nextel back in the day when they were merging the networks and my service was horrible. I went to school at UMD, which is a few miles from Washington DC and could barely get two bars, plus couldn't use direct connect half the time. The school is on a damn hill near a huge city, no way I should have bad coverage. Plus the customer service is absolutely horrible. I had people hang up on me, or tell me they'd call back and never did. Totally unprofessional. I'd never even think about going back to Sprint. First of all, the phone has a proximity sensor that turns off the screen when it's placed near your face during a call. This is so you don't press buttons on the screen with your cheek while talking. If you want to end a call, all you have to do is take the phone away from your face and the screen comes back. Second, the Eris actually has physical send and end buttons, so you shouldn't have to use the screen to end a call. Third, there are apps on the market that will solve all your problems. Superdial is a dialer that displays the number pad, plus your call log, making it very easy to find contacts or people you called recently. Download 'not call log' and you can set it so it goes back to your homescreen after ending a call. This prevents you from making accidental calls after you hang up with someone. No, you've heard complaints about the bad keypad on the Droid. The flat design and weird d-pad placement makes it a bit awkward to type on, I agree. If the d-pad wasn't there and the keyboard was centered, it would probably solve the problem. Then again, I hardly ever use the physical keyboard, so I probably should have waited for the Nexus One. Oh well. Apparently the keyboard on other android phones are much better. [/QUOTE]
