Not trying to single you out, but what is it about the 900 "not being enough of a phone" that people are complaining about?

Having a Motorola Q for the past 2 years, and returning my 2nd Droid after 3 weeks, as a VoIP engineer, the 900 is a Godsend for me. The built-in SIP client alone makes it more of a "phone" than my other two devices. Aside from my USB port coming completely detached, having the 900 has been an issue free experience as far as browsing, email, and calls (save for call volume being on the low side). FWIW, the 900's email client is flawless compared to the Droid's native email apps (both Exchange and POP3)...talk about issues.

I kinda agree with you on the battery...but going into it, I didn't expect much more than a day given the 900's mAh rating, which is about what I'm getting now. All those issues were solved via an extended Seidio battery for the other phones.
