ok im happy again.... looks like the mask was only the home screen (very understandable actually) cuz when i tried this out i was looking for the vanilla Android apps since i had a nervous breakdown thinking there were two versions of most apps... one Android standard, and one HTC. But seems like the standard Android ones are nowhere to be found even with sense off... which makes me still believe that HTC redesigned the standard ones (yayyy open source!!!) to make the ones we have now rather than write these from scratch and hide the default ones, thus the deeper integration they were mentioning.... (makes sense since the HTC browser is in fact the Android browser but with new bookmarks page, muiltitouch, and flash enabled)

Im happy again.....
