the honeymoon is OVER!

Okay, I'll admit it. I am a Gadget whore. I love new technology, new phones, new mp3 players, new computer gizmos, all of it. I loveD my iPhone, I was an early adopter, and it WAS the perfect phone for so many reasons. One reason I have loved my iPhone so much is that it has succeeded where others have failed. Ask Matt, I am cellphone kryptonite. I don't kill phones by dropping them, swimming with them, or throwing them at ex-girlfriends, they just simply die after being too near to me (and my magnetic field altering genetic make up) for too long. My iPhone has lasted ONE year, I thought that never possible.
Now it would seem, one of two things has happened. Either my super(techno-destructive) powers have kicked in, OR Apple totally dropped the ball on the 2.0 software update. At this point it REALLY could be either. What is certain is that I currently HATE my iPhone, it is crashing on a nearly daily basis, I have re-installed several times and even met with a Mac Genius (he just simply said, "sorry dude, 2.1 is already in development"). SO the honeymoon is over, the love has soured, and I am officially looking for a new phone. Gulp. Yeah, Apple, uh, it's not me it's YOU. I just can't do this anymore. And iPhone, just to be clear, I'm not leaving you to go to iPhone 3G, I have no faith in her either, I don't know where my search will lead, or how long it will take but I need a phone that works, that lives up to it's claims. Maybe Apple engineered it this way, but I am not biting, as sexy as that white 16gig iPhone 3G looks, I am not buying it. Hell, I might not even get a phone with a QWERTY keyboard. Ok, that's a lie, I don't think I can go back to alpha-numeric, but I am keeping my options open. I am ready for a new gadget to run my finger over, to whisper sweet nothings to. Any recommendations?
