Apple try to fix any flaw as soon as it can (there are exception), Palm's T3 mad digitizer is awaiting a fix, the TC's lower screen defect get fix a year after it was discovered, the T5 and Treo 650 memory issue is still awaiting a fix too.
I own a T5, and it's the best device Palm's yet made. I had a E, I had a T3, I've had Palms all the way back to the Palm Pilot Professional. The flash RAM isn't "buggy" by any means. It has more overhead due to the cluster size, but that's only a problem on the Treo. The T5 has plenty of room. A few internet malcontents that were pissed off because the T5 didn't come with WiFi, a phaser and artificial girlfriend for them have given this device a bad rap it doesn't deserve. Don't judge until you've owned one.
