[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 4Site:
APOLOGIES PRIORLY A BIT LONG BUT PLEASE READ, VERY VERY IMPORTANT...

Firstly and foremostly. I think the whole issue has been misinterpreted and maybe (at least

initially) misrepresented by us.

The whole issue of video playback was not the problem, but this has become the vocal point

in the issue, this needs to be rectified. Currently HTC has made us appear like a bunch of

children in a sweet shop demanding we are given more than we've been promised.

I think an official press relase from HTC Class Action needs to go out to all the media

outlets that reported on this, stating that this is an overall performance issue, not just

a video playback issue as HTC are suggesting it is.

Hopefully the statement will not only keep the story in the media glare but will also,

bring out in public officially that HTC have purposely crippled the device and maybe make

suggestions that they intentionally did it so that an otherwise all round nearly perfect

device that the Tytn II SHOULD OF BEEN would need replacing sooner rather than later.

This would tie in well with their Press Release as they are suggesting that we need to wait

for them to bring out a new model and buy that to have a device that performs better, when

in reality our current device can do what is being promised for the future now IF it worked

like it was suppose to.

The press release would also dispel public opinion myths that we are after more than we're

promised and its all over such a trivial subject as video playback as even the options in

the edgadget's poll seems to suggest.

We have the momentum at the moment and its beginning to snowball lets not sleep on this,

and use the current media interest. At least if we re outline our ventation then either HTC

would have to reply again or totally ignore it and be seen as an even greedier corporation

which will do no favours for its image, then maybe damage control might force it to do

something.

REGARDING THE PRESS RELEASE FROM US HTCCLASSACTION.COM...

This will be the key in whether we win this war or it drags on, at the moment to me it

looks like the oppurtunity for a killer blow. Lets consult prior to releasing and make sure

its as perfect as can be so it will cause maximum damage..

WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE!!!!

- CLEAR

- DIRECT

- CONCISE

- UP-To-DATE

- PROFFESIONAL

WHAT IT NEEDS TO STATE

- Video Playback is not the issue, but overall graphic performance, with concerate

examples, and video footage if need be. Lets focus on main issues that affect us during

business usage, such as screen orientation delay, windows start menu taking forever to

draw, the extra load on the the CPU because of the non existant usage of hardware and how

this is making the device unstable etc etc

- The benefits of the chip, and how it would benefit the device with proper drivers. Have

we had any confirmation of its existance or ability???

- The issue of misadvertisement of the device. The whole idea of HTC simply listing the

chip in device can amount to false advertising. The analogy of Dell advertising a PC has

containing a GeForce 8800 Graphics Card without mentioning blistering graphics is a perfect

like for like example that can be used i think. Just cause Dell didn't specifically say it

has blistering graphics anyone who is buying that PC will assume cause it contains the 8800

it will provide top tier graphic performance, games as well as GUI.

- How HTC is suggesting we buy their next set of devices to gain the level of performance

you expect from a $700-1000 device, when most of us have just got the Tytn II, and how the

Tytn II really can do most of that stuff had it not been intentionally crippled, suggest

that maybe if HTC had not been purposely crippled the chip on this device, it would not

have been too short of being perfect and maybe more future proof or long life in terms of

real life usage, WHERE AS OMITTING THE DRIVERS needed to work the chip have left loads of

user's searching for a new device even though its only a few months old. Maybe a ploy to

milk the consumers for more money, by purposely deactivating an expected feature and then

suggesting that consumers need to buy a new device to use the full features of a device

they own. At least OTHER COMPANIES charge 20$ for a software upgrade on devices to enable

disabled features, instead of expecting them to buy completely new devices :D

- Ask why initially HTC support suggested to a lot of consumers who got in touch with them

that this was a know issue and that an update would be available soon. When their press

release is trying to bury the problem

- Also suggest whether the court case between Qualcomm and Broadcom has had any affect on

this issue. Maybe suggesting that Qualcomm's activities caused a whole generation of

devices to be sold knowing they were duds. NEEDS CONFIRMATION

I'll make a draft later today if required, please feel free to make suggestions based on

factual or common knowledge information.

Also anything i've omitted or missed out? Lets get this perfect and then Chainfire can

shoot it off to all the relevent parties. And then we can maybe we can organise a guerrilla

style e-campaign with lots of us posting this on a lot of relevent, sites, blogs and forums

and push for more exposure.

SORRY WAS LONG BUT RELEVENT I THINK
