HTC needs to get their act straight, to keep putting out bad junk is not gonna cut it any longer and I hope Google moves away from that crappy company.

I've seen you mention this a few times though I haven't had the same experience as you; bad luck I guess. I have had a Mogul, Touch, Touch Pro, Diamond, Touch Pro 2, and now the EVO. I have been impressed with the build quality on all of these devices, even my TP did not have the keyboard issues that many reported.

Back to the accessories thing, I hope that HTC realizes they have a solid form factor in the EVO and in future renditions of the device keep this form factor the same for compatibility reasons. I think HTC needs to minimize the number of devices they make. For instance, as far as touch screen phones how about making the EVO and Incredible and a hardware keyboard sporting version of each? Perhaps then more third party manufactures would increase production of accessories for these phones. Anyhow, just a thought.

I have heard and seen tremendous battery life out of this thing. Though I think my experience with Blackberry takes the cake in the battery life comparison. My old pearl would last for days and days without a charge and heavy use. Though without the bells and whistles of more versatile OSes such as Android and iOS.
