> Never buy first batch of ANY SE phone!
Bookmark topic
That's why I am always 1-2 models behind in the mobile phone technology tree. Just bought a T630 for 1/4 of latest model price and has the latest firmware (bug free). Perfectly happy to save that 3/4 of the full price for some other gadgets.
I've learnt to avoid brand new model, first batch off the production line, first model with a new features etc. I've had enough with repeated trips to get the firmware updated along with all the reconfigurations required. In this series, I considered T610 to be the first version and T630 to be the "fixed" version.

Absolutely, i couldnt agree more.. ive been a passionate
fan and have not faced any significant issues with SE phones, new or old... having used several other phones prior to my se run, imo
have by far been the most trouble free phones ive ever used..maybe i got lucky..but all the same
Hell...Windows has bugs too...would that stop you from upgrading to he latest version once its out???

It's true that this statement applies to pretty much all tech products. But whether one get the latest or wait, for me, depends on a few other factors eg. Need for reliability, Available time to tinker, Special features required, Compatibility with other products etc. For a phone where 24/7 reliability counts as #1, I would wait. Further I absolutely needs it to work with my other Bluetooth products and be able to sync properly with my Mac. I guess those very latest screens and the extra MPs doesn't excit me as much as my need for reliability in a phone. As for a computer OS, well, that's another set of priorities. We are all different.

That is good advice. I will be waiting until the model I will be buying next is out for a few month.

That is practical. Like a movie, wait for reviews and opinions and then watch it. Yet top class fans fight to watch the 1st day 1st show.

My reason for not buying the first batch would be price. They usually become cheaper after few months from release. In my experience and people I know, defects that are found on phones nowadays are firmware related and are usually solved with a firmware upgrade so it's actually a minor concern.

@Raj. No surprise. The percentage of problem sets should be less. Here at Esato we discuss it & are aware of it.
