[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Infornography:
This is my plan forged through pain

Not just that, but one large consumer website publishing a complaint is more powerful than 4000 of us have *****ing. And even more powerful than that is the almighty class-action lawsuit. Remember, it took 1 class action lawsuit and numerous articles on consumerist.com for Verizon to crumble on their stance with the Motorola v710. And you can bet more than 4000 people complained. We've been playing nice and fair, doing petitions and making complaints to their tech and customer service. What do we have to show for it? Scripted responses and promises that "they've forwarded the information to the proper channels and/or are looking into the issue." Every thread that starts with "I called HTC" ends with those statements.

We don't get promises for a fix. We get promises that they'll look into if they think there is a problem. Let me rephrase that. We bought their product whose full retail price is above $550 US Dollars. Said product promised an enhanced video support due to Quallcomm video chipset. What we got was half the package. We got the chipset. But no way to use it as it was intended. Let me go back. This unit, that we bought, is $550 US. Any amount or good stolen worth $500 is considered grand theft, and I feel that alot of that money was stolen from me. Why? Because this device is not worth $550. What did this device add that my Hermes didn't have? A swivel? a poor 3MP Digital Camera? A basic sub-par GPS? Bluetooth GPS units are cheaper than hell so I'd like to drop that off.

So what happened? They screwed me. They screwed you. They screwed, us. The consumers. They stole a good chunk of our money. The way they did it, is also insulting. We gave them our hard-earned money IN GOOD FAITH because we were promised a better product, and ultimately a better experience. What experience did we all gain? I learned how to be frustrated writing endless complaints to HTC. I learned that scripted replies will get most people off your back. And most of all, I learned that nothing short of legal reprucssion and consumer backlash will be the only things that push a company so comfortable with pushing us around, to finally do what WE THE CONSUMERS PAID THEM TO DO. Their job. Give us a good product, one that we paid for.

Dutty and the rest of the developers shouldn't have to SLAVE and do HTC's job just to get us working drivers. Hell, HTC won't even give them what they need to do it. Now, I know this post is long and most people won't even read it. But I just want to say one more thing. To anyone out there still clinging to the saying that, "THIS ISN'T HTC'S FAULT! THIS IS QUALCOMM'S!" HTC isn't doing all it can. They can exert pressure on quallcom. This was greed. They wanted to release a product before completion before the holidays to cash it in.

There was no warning of no driver support. And no hope for support. The only support we have, that we can look forward to, is what your reading on these forums, by devs who are consumers like you, and not HTC or QUALCOMM. Take a look around you friend. If you continue to by HTC products, this is your support. You can only trust the man around you. We've been left behind enemy lines, blind and HTC is laughing.
