Yes M$ does not manufacture or decide the phones, HTC does. and HTC is the one that completely destroyed window's brand. While Microsoft stood there watching. And HTC was never about "understanding windows"..they just exploited a market with no competition in the most efficient way possible. If they didn't do this they wouldn't have grown as big as they are to day..
HTC always: 1) didn't pay to license the acceleration 2) put minimum ram 3) updated the least necessary hardware so that you update.

Good points, the 3GS does have a good graphics chip, although they waste it with crappy resolution. I don't agree that HTC "destroyed the windows brand" without HTC windows mobile wouldn't be usable IMO, and talk about what HTC is doing for Android...
I do agree with the 528mhz chip on some phones underperforming, but my Diamond was wayy faster than the touch and any older phone (my mytouch underperforms big time though).
I think what we probably agree on is that Apple is going right way by strengthening on what made them successful and microsoft is is going the opposite way by taking out everything we like about WM. At least get a decent UI if you're going to make us stuck with it, that crappy metro tile UI is just horrid.
