I have eaten in a few 3rd world restaurants (in the Dominican republic) and surprisingly they offered utensils. But, you keep trying to play your game and make it seem like I'm bolstering my position by omitting "facts".

oh wow..I don't know where to start but I will try...
met⋅a⋅phor [met-uh-fawr, -fer]
–noun
1. a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.” Compare mixed metaphor, simile (def. 1).
2. something used, or regarded as being used, to represent something else; emblem; symbol.
I am obviously not arguing whether or not 3rd world restaurants have utensils or not...I am making a metaphor to what HTC is doing.

You'd be correct with that assumption if 1) HTC was the only smart phone manufaturer or 2) if you were were forced to purchase a touch pro 2. But last time I checked there were many handset options and I haven't seen any news reports of people being held at gunpoint to purchase an HTC Touch Pro 2... which makes that an invalid assumption.

In a world of business you are always held at gun point in one way or another. (and no I don't mean literally)

The reality is that you're dead set on a touch pro 2 and you WANT drivers. Go buy a different device THAT is your choice. HTC isn't obligated to provide you with "options" your option is pick the device that best suits your needs. HTC never promised anyone any drivers... regardless how much better it would make their device. HTC like Apple (and most other companies) do things that don't always benefit their customers in the name of business/profit.
Anyways, good luck with your graphics driver crusade. If you really want drivers I would suggest buying something else that is known to have them.

Then please give me a list of touch screen cell phone with a keyboard I could use in the USA?
And read above, on the htc class action, it states that htc did promise this for many devices and did not deliver.
Just as you would find a restaurant with no utensils as wrong, I find a phone that is crippled to be wrong. But to continue to do business I need to get the device. But if I had the drivers I would be able to do it more efficiently. Just cause they get away with it doesn't mean that it is right or should be done.
Edit:
Let me give you a more real example that you may be more familiar...it is standard to wear gloves and prepare food in sterile environment and all employees must wash hands. Some ignore those and don't wash their hands and prepare food in places that haven't been cleaned for weeks. (It happened at a pizzahut was it not long ago and you hear cases here and there)
You don't notice it because you aren't in the kitchen and when you come out you find nothing wrong or taste nothing wrong...but the moment you found out the truth, would you be upset? most people that buy it don't know..thats the thing.
