How many people have you seen with a Mogul, Touch or iPhone that actually took the time to figure it all out and install 3rd party apps and customize it the way we do? 99.9999% of the time I see moms, dads and dumb kids that bought the phone just because they were told it's the coolest phone. Think outside this forum. That's the point I'm trying to make when I challenge you to find 100 people on this forum. How many Moguls, MDAs, Tilts, Touchs and Diamonds has HTC sold in
America to date? Take a 100 from each of those phones and see if it really makes any impact? See if 500 phones collectively is enough to persuade HTC to totally re-develop a phone for the US Market.

How the hell do you figure the Instinct is doomed? Dude, everyone and their maid has an Instinct. I see nearly as many Instincts as iPhones...nearly. They are all over the place...mainly due to heavy, heavy marketing. I can't even remember the last time I saw a Mogul...much less a Touch or dare I say, even a Diamond.

I tell u. I never see anyone with an instinct. I wanna meet 1 coz I wanna show the WM version of haptic feedback. I never met 1. LMAO.
