Exactly. If they can get away with terrible QC/design, then they aren't going to fix it. It's much cheaper to accept a "few" returns and most people will just accept these issues without complaining...

My Vogue does this too. That is why HTC does NOT include the 1% battery increments.

Yeah, HTC might be trying some sort of precautionary measure here... makes sense...
