Sure enough, after a reboot, I can see the available networks again. So, I made 
the mistake of disconnecting from my network and telling the phone to forget 
that network. Thereafter, I ended up in a state where the phone didn’t show me 
any wifi networks. (It did invite me to look at the previous networks though, 
even though there weren’t any.)

So, I figured, now that it’s shown, I’ll connect to my network again. So, I tap 
the name of my network in the list and get the little dialog to enter the 
network password. Because I’m trying to reproduce the earlier error with the 
on-screen keyboard, I tap “Show password”. Nothing happens. I tap “Show 
password” again. Still nothing happens. I tap “Show password” on the text 
instead of the tick box. Nothing. Then I madly stab at the tick box several 
times. Low and behold, it turns into a green tick, after considerable delay.

At this point, there is a blinking cursor in the text entry field for the 
password, but no OSK. I tap on the text box so I get the OSK. No OSK appears. I 
tap again. No OSK. Just brilliant.

I tap cancel to get back to the network list, and tap my network again. I tap 
the “Show password” tick box. No reaction. I tap it a second time. This time it 
turns green. I tap on the text entry field. No keyboard.

Rinse and repeat: This time, I tap on the network name, the password dialog 
appears, and I manage to turn on “Show password” on the very first tap. But I 
still can’t enter the password because it appears impossible to get the OSK to 
appear.

So, I return to the network list. In an attempt to reset things so I can try 
again, I tap the toggle to turn Wifi off. The list of networks goes empty, as 
expected. Then I tap the toggle again to turn wifi back on. The toggle turns 
green, as expected. But now, the network list is empty again, and there is no 
way to bring it back.

Time for another reboot.

Oh, wait, no. About two minutes later, just as I’m about to reboot, suddenly 
the network list appears. So, I again try to enter my network password. I 
can’t, because there is no keyboard.

So, I guess it’s a reflash now, with —bootstrap, in the hope that I’ll 
eventually get a keyboard.

This is ridiculous.

If I can produce this many bugs without even seriously trying in the first two 
hours after receiving the phone, I really wonder what’s going on during testing.

Let me put this very clearly: with this level of UI design and software 
reliability, we will lose 90% of all customers in the first day after purchase. 
This is a lot worse than just “not yet ready”. This is unusable.
