Just as the Vogue, right out of the box, HTC home is there to be used to simplify maneuvering through the OS. HTC has always had a HOME plugin to do this with every device they made. TF3D is just a newer version of it made to take advantage of the 3d accelerated hardware. The hardware is also there to run 3D accelerated games and apps, and not just the home plug in. Therefore TF3D is NOT the only reason for the hardware as you say is "fact".

Voice Dialing is faster if your using your Bluetooth headset and do not want to look at your phone when driving or other activities that require your full attention. It is not faster if you use another plug in to place calls, and are not on a headset.

TF3D is not the smoothest thing on a Stock Sprint ROM. If it was, then there would'nt be so many complaints. It's not nit picking. It simply is not the best option to use for many despite what your personal experience is with it.

TF3D is a home plug-in that runs over WM, just like SPB, and many many others.
