Verizon's official line is that they do more thorough testing than other companies before they release phones. The truth of the matter, I think, is that more restrictive software takes longer to write and debug.
The sad thing is Verizon really does have the best coverage and customer service, but the user base is getting older and when their kids have to start paying their own cell phone bill, they are going to go somewhere that allows them to BT ringtones/pics/files/etc back and forth.

The GPS thing, though, was purely HTC, not any of the carriers. That's why none of them released with GPS on the CDMA side.

Excellent point! I stay with verizon because i've tried them all and this badboy gets reception everywhere! And i live near the mountains!
