5. It was never "crippled". Why would anyone ever take a feature away? It's just a feature that was never there.

I only see one person wanting something for nothing...... and you're calling HTC greedy? hmmmmm

htc advertised the touch hadmsm 7x00 chipset, which has the integrated ati infineon graphics acceleration. I always wondered why my wizard and wing had smoother video playback with a significantly worse processor.

You sir, are a victim of corporate BS. A corvette is advertised with a 6 liter v8 so you buy it, cause its got 400 horsepower. A month later you realized that not only you, but everyone's corvette is only running on 4 cylinders and effectivly 3 liters, crippling it to worse then a cobalt, when all the bits to make it fully functional are there.

How is this situation any different? And a class action lawsuit would yield positive results. How can you argue quoted specs that are still being released (the msm 7200/7500 chipset in each of the current htc lineup) but are purposfully crippled so that later on "new" models that are slightly less uncrippled can be released.
