consider buying Neo Freerunner

[Shawn "prjktdtnt" Thompson]

Not everyone has those problems, I experienced those problems only a 
couple times myself but not every call. I actually use mine daily and 
rarely switch back to my old phone. Only on days where battery life is 
crucial (such as long road trips without a car charger) although even 
that is rare for me.
