[HD2 General] TopOfNewYork:
Major dissappointment!

I will never buy a phone with Sense again based on HTC's inability to program a stable UI with functional messaging system and video playback. It sucks bc I dont like the big boys. Much lessor devices perform better than this device. I think Apple Google and Microsoft are already to big to powerful and that they stifle innovation and actually slow down technology from getting to the end user at low prices in order to maximize wall street profits, by creating monopolies, protecting patents and brainwashing the public (and they have the resources to do it).

I also dont want to pay for the marketing of a device, I dont care about all the french commericals google microsoft and apple seem to be obsessed with. I dont care how many pretend french girlfriends somebody has to impress in paris or how googles (which is dope btw) works in Paris, how some stupid french broad made up windows 7. I hate it all. Has nothing to do with quality and delivering the best technology to people first. Its smoke and mirrors, I dont want to pay for that. I really dont care about Kit from knight rider talking to me about where the stars are either. Or feeling like my phone is a Cylon technology from Battlestar Galatica phone (although that would actually be, cool nothing more than a simple red light isn't selling me on a phone).

Just give me a hardcore device with a functional UI. That's what i liked about HTC, no commericals, it was about the device. This is so disappointing bc for the first time they had the hardware they needed to run Sense and all the applications in the way we always wanted it to run and yet they blew it. The software isnt even pushing the limits of the phone. The phone software just blows. The tech had caught up to the ideas to the vision but the programmers couldn't hack it. In fact, they almost stumbled almost felt like Sense took a step back. Some major flaws showed up right out of the box. Pathetic and inexcusable glitches. This isnt Senses first tango with Windows, I believe windows and HTC have been partners from the beginning.

For a number of reasons I question HTC ability to survive independently in the mobile market. They needed to hit this out of the park, they need people like me letting people play with my phone and me hyping it up. They dont need people like us afraid to let anyone touch the device bc its so god damn dysfunctional and sensitive. They don't need people like me taking my battery cover off just before I let them touch it bc the device is totally freaking and the best chance I have at not embarrassing myself for buying this overpriced piece of crap is to quickly reset it (but I cant bc I was listening to music and a text came in and Sense puked on itself, again and I cant get it unlocked and now its frozen or for whatever reason is going to need over 60 seconds to work itself out of the lag even though 60% of its overall resources are free). How does this happen? Whoever managed this device should be demoted and fired. Its a disaster. I lost alot of respect for this company failing to deliver when they absolutely had to and when they actually had the hardware, finally, that they needed to put it together. Failure.

I turn sense off when I absolutely need the phone to fucntion. It just impossible and lets also be totally honest here, if you not flashing a rom or tweaking this phone is trash stock settings. Trash. And that's not even considering the fact that half of the phones basic functions are more likely to crash than to work.

Lest we forget, the phone came out in Europe in Nov. 6 months later it appears in the USA and 2 weeks after that a better android HTC device outdates the camera and screen. For me a week or so of sitting on top isnt long enough for this device in the united states and I think HTC made a major mistake not taking this to US first and not doing it right bc they wont get another chance, once the war between google apple and Microsoft really explodes in a all out brawl for world computing domination. Which in case you case see you nose in front of your face, is all about mobile computing.
