Why? Let's see, HTC says it's Sprint's problem, Sprint says it's HTC's fault. Class-action lawsuit doesn't even make them sweat, let along motivate them to do anything.
Unfortunately, this isn' the first time they've played this game.

Take the Blackberry / SprintNextel fiasco from 4yrs ago. The front of the 7100i's early box said something like "WAV & MP3 Ringtones." For the next year and a half, Nextel said that RIM failed to provide the hardware for WAV ringtones, and RIM said that Nextel's ROM didn't incorporate the ability. "Call and complain to the other guy."

People complained, sent letters, threatened with suits and returns... for nothing. Nextel basically told many of us to screw off because the BB is a business device and not an entertainment device like the Razr (which was mega-cool at the time) + ignore the box advertisement that had since been "fixed." Eventually some broke-*** fix was released but the newer and better devices were already out by then and many didn't care, myself included. MIDI4lyfe.

My suggestion: don't waste SO much time complaining as to forget enjoying the TP for what it is. It's a problematic device, but so was damn near every smartphone I've owned since 2002 lol still looking for a perfect solution.
