"briefly yanked" last year.... uhhh.... it was yanked indefinitely - and its still not on shelves in SF last I checked.
As for going from Capacitive to Resistive touch screen - it looks and felt as it was ALWAYS resistive, all plastic pressing like the Sprint Instinct, so if they went from Capacitive to something else, WOW - must have only been test phones cause no one I knew had a "capacitive" screen.
Im pretty sure this phone is dead and no amount of refreshing will get people to buy it from Verizon again.
i have this phone right now and absolutely hate it with a passion. in fact, it makes me hate life its so bad. there's just nothing on verizon (except the omnia that peaks my interest).
the screen feels like its resistive. to be honest i cant really tell what touch technology it uses. it's not a "press-down" type resistive screen, but nor is it a glass capacitive screen. its like a hard plastic that has a little give if pressed really hard. regardless tho, it doesnt matter because it doesnt register a single friggen touch correctly.
does anybody know of a policy for me getting rid of this phone somehow? a trade-in program or replacement with one of these "fixed" resistive ones the article mentions?
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

I actually just bought one a few weeks ago without doing any research. returned it the next day.
