Interesting concept, lacking execution
Phone owned for less than a year

I had the Padfone 1, for about 2 days. Then it gave up, and I changed neatly in time for the release of the Padfone 2. When I got it, I was impressed. It felt good in the hand, it was fast and responsive, it dealt with everything I wanted to do without problems.
After having used it a while, it broke. 1 quick service later, it happened again after a bout one and a half months. After the third time, I chose to retire it.
Afterall, it is a good phone. No doubt. I don´t know if I got a bad one, or if there is a quality problem.
