I'm not sure how much of the lack of updates is due to HTC or due to the carriers themselves....

Verizon I know has always disabled things that HTC does have working (GPS comes to mind!) And the EVDO RevA upgrade HTC provided for the mogul took several months for verizon to approve....

Problem is the carriers don't want to make sweeping changes to the OS simply because it becomes a support nightmare. My guess is the average noob on this forum knows more about the phones than some of the best guys you will find at your average carrier's store.

Considering the fact that most people upgrade phones every year...i guess they figure why improve what is already sold! Better to work on something that will get more money out of you!

It's a business thing...
