So much is involved with current handset development. I completely understand why there are limitations on hardware/software components. In order to fulfill liability & performance claims, most everything made today is limited to some degree in order to comply with internal and/or external guidelines (corporate/government mandating basically)

Some high performance cars are equipped with speed limiters although the "hardware" is designed for more. Why?

Simple. It's called Liability.

Overclocking and increasing the FPS may incidentally cause other inherent performance related issues... including the mass consumption of battery, overheating, etc (of which people will then complain about that). Never assume that HTC or other affiliate(s) are purposely trying to withhold hardware/software potential from us.

But not all of the technologies involved can ideally support the resources of others (ie, battery technology) and thus some resources suffer until the others come current or more capable to better support it.

There is a viable reason the FPS and other noted "limited" EVO performance features are reduced...
