The thing about this poll is that people vote without necessarily even knowing the problems with the phone. You just have a bunch of fanboys defending it.

What would be nice is a poll that gave a realistic percentage of users that had specific problems with their phones, whether they "like" it or not, which is so unbelievably-subjective that I'm surprised it's a poll.

I think that most people will agree that this phone is awesome, in theory, and for those who don't use the phone enough to overheat it, I'm sure they love it--assuming they overlook the other glaring defects.

I would be willing to overlook the defective screen, earpiece, speaker, lagginess, heat, poor battery life, and build quality, if it didn't have problems making friggin phone calls, (running out of battery, even while on the charger.)

Why is it so hard to just say, "Wow. Buying this thing was a bad idea, but it's still within my 30 days, so I'm going to trade it for something else that satisfies my needs and expectations." There's no other choice, you may argue, but there is. There's always other products and other carriers. Or else you say, "Because this is still the best device available, and I need to do what I can to maximize my own use with the resources available until better solutions are available."

But making demands is more irritating than anything.
You can also say the exact opposite. If everyone was as in love with HTC as much as half the people in this forum, then NONE of the problems would ever get fixed on these phones. Companies don't respond to a problem, unless you complain. Well, some companies do, but HTC sure as hell doesn't. We've figured that out over the years with one gigantic defect/issue right after another.

While it may be true that this is the best device available, on Sprint, it doesn't mean there aren't much better/more reliable/higher-performing phones elsewhere. It seems that HTC has nothing to worry about though, because people will buy up all these phones, regardless of problems, and they will convince themselves that they are flawless...
