Mogul, various Touch devices, I don't even know all of them but I know there have been at least 3 or so. That is really about on par with every other major company (when it comes to smart devices and pocket pc's). And now we are going to get 2 more pretty kick *** devices with in the next few months, the Touch Pro and the Diamond. I really see no real reason to complain here... I mean, come guys, really? That's 5+ phones in less than 2 years.

You're right. There is no "good" excuse. Just an excuse.

It's the same thing when you see those car shows and all those cool cars that we'll never drive. Or consumer electronics that we will never be able to tinker with. It's all marketing hype and BS and personally I'm sick of it. I would be loyal to HTC and pay them my $500-$700 RIGHT NOW for the device. But not if I'm going to wait like a monkey in a cage for his bananas.

Forget it. I'll get one bad ESN off eBay and hack the crap out of it. But my premium dollar will NOT be spent trying to be first in line for this thing. Not if it's going to take me at least another few months to hack and tweak it just the way I like it--especially if it's to add features this SOB should have had out of the box.

I swear: If I come here reading that users have trouble getting GPS to work I'm going to go back in the archives and bump this thread just to gloat.

They HAVE a CDMA model RIGHT NOW. I bet some greasy bastards at Sprint and Verizon have already molested the hell out of one especially branded for them. And I bet they are saying stupid crap like, "we can lose the FRONT CAMERA....NO ONE'S GOING TO USE IT ANYWAY....BESIDES, IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE TO PUT OUR $%#@* LOGO!".

Nazis.
