It's survived my 3 year old.  I'd say that it only feels flimsy,
myself.  I haven't beat the hell out of it or anything, but I don't
think it's actually flimsy.

It is definitely not cheap, though; I can send you an off-list email
detailing an experience that I had with one that convinced me that I
did, indeed, want to buy it.  (For various reasons, I can't share that
experience on-list.)

I would like the battery in the Dream to last a little longer; it's
about average at least compared to the phones that I have had, though,
so I can't complain.
