I mean HTC was a nobody and they were selling the phones through 3rd party distributors who generically branded them. Thats why I always say HTC grew at M$ expense.

If Dell would have released a phone in the US back then it would sell like hotcakes.
yeah, but Dell, HP and Compaq all had their PDAs created and manufactured by HTC. HTC was always the brains behind the most innovative windows mobile hardware. They took that experience and started building for themselves as well as others.

The reason those companies never marketed a PDA phone was that the early versions of PPC/WM Phone edition was clunky and slow. Honestly... it took an innovative company to take initiative and work with MS to make it a better platform.
