    Not quite as bad...

    Maybe not quite as bad, but the Samsung Stratosphere I got had a faulty SD card from the factory (actually Samsung branded SD card too.). Thank goodness I don't have the faulty eMMC, I just picked a different card up for like $5 or $10 rather than going back and trying to get a phone exchanged or something over just the memory card. The phone would randomly freeze, and under investigation (using ADB and the PC) I found while writing to the card, sometimes it'd decide to just drop off the bus instead. Firmware bug or bad piece of flash? I don't know.

    That potential billion-customer market is like a slab of beef just beyond reach of a starving dog. There is no company in the world employing MBA suits on its board that is not going to bend over on cue.

    Right now, those MBAs are probably feverishly looking for ways to bend over even further.
