Feel free to list them then. Don;t tell me efficiency matters unless you are going to list the efficiency of both devices. We know the Evo 3D has a higher resolution and glasses free 3D. These are big deals.

I don't know how many megapixels they convert at. But I can assure you it is plenty enough for facebook since you keep saying that is the only thing people use their camera for.

And you do realize skye isn't showing a 2 megapixel video stream, right? So, again, tell me why the front camera is enough for you to label it an advantage on the sammy when you have never even seen a pic from the HTC. You said it was based on extra megapixels, but I have yet to hear os a use case where those extra megapixels will ever be used by anyone. The thing is designed for video chat which doesn't display nor stream a 2 megapixel video stream.

It also helps individuals protect their information..

It is not VITAL for business, lol. Do you even know what you're talking about? Tell me this: if an IT guy has a hundred devices to prepare and hand out to an entire department, and all of them will be identical... Say he gets a nand backup of the first device. He then tries to restore that nand on the other 99 devices. Will this work on the Sammy? Is that a good thing or bad thing? Do you think this would work on the HTC? Is that a good thing or bad thing?

Maybe not totally out of business, but it would be a huge, huge blow.

Again, please research this before you comment any further. You are dead wrong. Samsung is absolutely under the authority of both the WTO and the ITC. And I am getting tired of correcting your blatantly false claim to the contrary. Again, research it before you comment any further on it. YEs, Samsung is free to do whatever they can get away with in Korea. But once they sell a single product in another country, they are under the authority of the WTO and ITC. Period. This is a fact.

That is totally fine for them to do. It doesn't give them any advantage though. It's not like Samsung is the only company making components. HTC is free to buy whatever components they want from whoever they want.

That is exactly what a plea bargain is. The accused pleads guilty- aka admits he committed a crime. Seriously, every single day countless people in the USA plead guilty and don't go to jail. And the more money you have, the more serious crimes you can get away with.

First of all, CyanogenMod is a TEAM, not a person. There are several people involved that own many different devices. It's not one person who happens to own this type of phone. Secondly, I never claimed that HTC devices were the ONLY devices supported by Cyanogen. I said the Galaxy S was not. As you can see here:

Samsung will provide them with new phones...no OEM did this before...and whats better is if they brick their phones..Samsung has top notch warranty...aka I can take my phone and smash it against the wall and Samsung will replace it to me free of charge...HTC will give me the option of buying a new one at FULL retail value..or hold my phone hostage until I pay them 27$ for return shipping...

Again, HTC already has developer support. They didn't need to do this. All of the major devs out there already have HTC ROMs. Samsung is the one playing catch up here, not HTC.

Care to place a bet on which one sells more? Just because a few people on engadget said they will get the Galaxy S 2 doesn't mean anything. I guarantee HTC will sell a whole lot more phones than Samsung, just like they always do. And there will be plenty of custom ROMs for every one of the HTC phones, just like there always is. Samsung is the one playing catch up here. And how ironic that you said HTC was just catching up, at best, to what every other OEM did several years ago. Clearly, HTC is not the one playing catch up here.
