The new Tungsten T5 is a bugger

Kent Pribbernow of Pocket Factory and Digital Media Thoughts fame, has written up his expeiences with the Tungsten T5. All I can tell, is that his expeciences with the T5 is all but good with the bugs he has got listed. The most annyoing, and funniest described bug he lists has to be this one:
Another bug appears in many deletion confirmation dialogs. If you attempt to delete a file from within some third party apps, like Zlauncher, the confirm dialog box appears (as it should) but the active input area begins bouncing up and down like a Jack Russell terrier, which of course means the system has locked up AGAIN! Jeesh!
I’m sorry that I can’t help to laugh at problems like these, but the reference to a Jack Russel terrier just describes the bug too well. (I can already see these dogs jumping around the place like they’re high on coffeine…*bouncy bouncy bouncy* 
)
Most of the problems Kent lists are really serious bugs, like the calendar that has got a can-not-do-month-view-without-crashing-bug. If Microsoft would have left such a bug in Pocket PC OS, then I would also go berserk and probably rant about it as well.
It sure makes me wonder: can we still today revert the growing “trend” of increasing buggy software? Is there resources for such a thing as quality control anymore in our world?
