I don't think so. Nor do you buy a v8 car and find out it only runs on 4 cylinders, coz they manufacturer forgot to put SPARKPLUGS in the other four! Too broad? Okay, you don't buy JBWeld (or any other Epoxy) and be satisfied with it when it didn't include the ACTIVATOR compound! You'd be pissed and you know it. Call it bitching if you want, but I think its you who should be proclaimed lead bitcher. Pot calls kettle black, eh?
While I would like to have more performance out of my phone as much as anyone I think you have your analogys here backwards.

Being as this is not an advertised feature of the phone. (Most of you knew nothing about it until the HTCClassaction Website popped up or if you follow XDA quite closely) It would be more like You buying a 6 cyl car and the automaker giving you 6 cyl by just not utilizing 2 on its 8 cyl motor and sticking it in your car. Maybe your are mad cause you should have gotten 8 as all the hardware is there but you bought a 6 and got a 6. To have your analogy work you would have to have gotten a mogul without a keyboard or a touch that only had half the stated RAM.

These features should be made available but to feel entitled to them is kind of short sided. I am looking a my mogul box right now and see no info about the ati features.

Complain away to sprint, HTC, AT&T hopefully it will work and we will get even better stuff for our phone but at least realize (with the Mogul and Touch) we got the phone as it was advertized.
