Palm! Where can I find a fully-functional Pre Plus????

Question

Yes, I've posted this in a sub-topic and now I'm creating a new thread because I've had enough!  I once considered myself a big time Palm supporter - but I do not know how much more I can keep my head up with this Pre Plus.
I'm spending WAY too much time at the Verizon store and not enough time with my phone at work.  I'm very close to returning everything. I love webos but cannot bear to deal with this palm hardware anymore.  The shady construction and poor build quality on ALL of the phones I've received over the past 3 weeks has left me with no confidence anymore in the hardware.
I have had my first phone returned with network problems - the phone would not receive data and the camera on the back was in the lower right corner of the opening - as if someone dropped it.  I returned this phone, only to get another phone with keyboard problems and sporadic lockups.   Today I just went into the Verizon store to replace the last defective one, only to receive yet another defective one.  The left side of the display was seriously discolored. I showed the technician at Verizon and he agreed there was an obvious problem. He then took my phone back a 3rd time, replaced it with another one and it still has a light bleeding/discoloring problem on the left side. It's not as bright as the first one, but it's definitely there.  I also see some light issues on the bottom of the screen as well (The discoloration is easily seen when going through interactive tests and displaying the "green" color.  The Verizon store was just as frustrated as I was but wouldn't let me get yet another device from their store and told me that this was a feature of the phone.  The gentlemen I worked with apologized severely, knowing it was definitely a build quality, but also admitting that he couldn't do anything because the store manager was done giving me more phones. His reaked of embarrassment!  I was tired of arguing with them, even KNOWING my first two phones did not have this problem and their floor model didn't either.  They even tried to convince me that the floor models are different... whatever!  I took the phone and left and now I am dealing with even more issues. (Been working on this phone today for over 8 hours)  I cannot get it to sync with my google calendar anymore (despite all the forums suggestions), and icons are being thrown all over my launcher (appearing then disappearing, etc)
I'm really upset that now I paid this much for a phone and I can't even get a good quality unit. I've spent well over 30 hours with defective phones, between driving to the stores, waiting in the stores and testing them on the road.  I've fallen WAY behind at work dealing with these issues and having to read all the forums online for fixes to problems for a BRAND NEW PHONE.
Palm - you have a SERIOUS manufacturing problem with your hardware.  I won't even go near the GPS problems.  I've already accepted the fact that GPS doesn't work on any Pre Plus phones (how sad is that?).  I've tested it on all 4 devices I've received, not to mention the 2 additonal floor models in the Verizon stores, and NADA.  It either doesn't work at all or it's about 1/2 to 1 mile off.
I'm beginning to think the PLUS in PRE means MORE PROBLEMS.
I just can't keep going back to the stores, this is frustrating!!!!!  I only have less than a week before 30 days is up.
I'm not one to complain like this, but I've just about had it.
