Ah. Good to know. :D so you're not one of those 85% whining teenagers here on XDA then. I will leave that matter (the action thing) to you then. Love the way you make things quite clear. :)

See above :D

Thanks man. Apreciate you doing all that. Get that thread going.

To be bluntly honest: chances are there but they are very small.

Up till today there have been some twists and turns in the Story. Beginning with me being nearly certain that no US based device would ever see this due to the different frequencies where i had to learn that in some rare cases people actually do get the problem even on the different set of GSM Frequencies, going to the thing that i was pretty sure certain radios wouldn't get it and then discovering more and more radios being affected and now believing that theoretically it can happen on all of them to now just learning that even the S3 seems not to keep you safe with this.

Lately, even some pretty decent S3 Reports turned up. So, it looks like the issue is pretty much all over the place. Literally. Its not only the GSM900/1800 countries. Its the other ones too.

One has to admit though that the issue is centered around the GSM 900 standard and the 1.78 base and its corresponding radio. Staying away from any or all of these facts (Base 1.78 in Europe would be the worst scenario) reduces the risk to run into that problem to a negligible small percentage.

Seriously, giving you an estimate on what to expect is very very hard despite all the data we collected. I think you have to decide for yourself if you want to take the risk. It depends on how your mind is set. If i where you, i'd say your situation makes it pretty unlikely and enjoy the phone. Its a beautiful piece of kit.

Totally agree on your list but would want to add that people DO notice (i currently see it on the viper thread) but they have NO idea where to take their experiences. Many do not identify the problems they have as what they actually are.

Adding to this difficulty, the new Base 2.21, 2.31 and lately vodafone's 2.38 actually shift the symptoms. They are not mainly the "Home Button Switching Thing" anymore, where the locked buttons and vibrations and apps quitting to home screen where like mere side-effects, no, the Home Screen Switching now actually turned into a side-effect and the main symptoms are "Button Lock Up" and "Random Vibration"

[EDIT]

Oh and i totally forgot: you said you are irritated because you already have the second device with that problem. Well. I will have a cynical laugh now. Hrhrhr... :S

Look at the VF Uk Forum Thread. There is some people having had 4 devices! They got denied a different phone and they got denied to get their cash back. They had to put up with 4 new phones. All had it. Now go figure.

Yeah man i can totally feel that. I am somewhat fed up with the whole thing. I just love this phone so much i wouldn't want another one and any other brand simply doesn't do for me. I've looked at all of them apart from the iCrap stuff (don't even look at it). I checked them all from Lg over sony to samsung... none are as nice as the HTC software. And some are outright ugly (sony xperia).

Yeah well. What shall i say. One of the main things to observe (and on the OP since a long time): the issue can take up to a few weeks to show up after initial first boot, a factory reset or a RUU or a new ROM or whatever is done to re-write the chip. 24h is just nothing.

And please pay attention to the changed symptoms. They fooled me into a false impression first too.
