I think that HTC or Sprint would have to trace all these posts back to whoever Critical really is. That could involve tracing the ISP or asking for the profile info about Critical from PPCGeeks. I think the hassle would not be worth what it acheives. IF he signed a NDA (Non- Disclosure Act), then he knows the risks in posting such information.
If anything, HTC and Sprint might look the other way at his posts, considering that the posts are a good back channel way of informing the public about what is going on with the delay in the TP shipments without HTC or Sprint having to take responsibility for them or discuss the reasons. They can deny the posts and stick to their official
PR.
Thanks again Critical for these well-informed posts. It's nice to get it straight from the source, and not through a spokesperson or an "unconfirmed" source (ie. GOSSIP). I hope that all goes well with the rest of the re-flashes and that you get that 4-day holiday that was mentioned earlier.
Curious though.. I assume that the TP ROM has been a work-in-progress for at least several months and has gone through several updates. When did all these current issues (GPS, camera, etc.) show up and it was determined that all the product needed to be updated before it could be shipped out? A delay, no matter how small it is, is pretty significant, especially for such a premium product.
I guess that we should be thankful that HTC/ Sprint decided to delay the release slightly and fix these issues instead of releasing the phone and issuing a ROM update later on, unlike Apple with their iPhone and the issues that plagued its release.
