Hi cvrki,

Just remember that most of the people who post here will be people who are having issues. The majority of people who are having a good experience with the phone are unlikely to search for this community. So, considering the number of units that have been shipped is quite high, and the number of users posting issues here will be fairly small compared to that... try and make a judgment based on that.

There are a few posts of people having good experiences. I'm receiving my own Iron soon and will happily post my experiences here. But, as a moderator, I wouldn't expect users to base their opinions on my reports.

Hope this helps and good luck with your decision making!

For people whose Iron has died. Have you used a factory nano SIM or you have cut out from a bigger SIM card.
I have seen a video about cutting a micro SIM to nano size and if you have an older SIM card,  you cut through the metal part too. In that case you can make a short circuit with it since the Iron's SIM tray is made out of meta  and has contact with the SIM's metal part.

\n\nI like others have problem when sd card is inserted. I have tried two that were previously installed in other phones, tried formatting and different roms. System see's the cards but won't mount them. Then i reboot i get past the logo and then as others have described a brightness then dullness but no boot. The sd cards are good quality class 10's 16gb & a 32gb Samsung and Sandisk. I hope it's a firmware thing but as some people are not experiencing this problem i am begining to think otherwise.
