"HTC sux"

Posted by hedgemeister on 25 Sep 2009

Pros: Nil

Cons: Give the product at least 12months on the shelves before upgrading it or give us an upgrade path.

Dear HTC Product Manager,
What gets me is that I only just bought the HTC HD Touch less than a month ago after reading the last PC Auth review back in late February (just over 6months ago). Sh#@ product life cycle HTC. At over $1000 thats expensive!
MY LAST HTC PHONE. As an MS system Integrator, I will be recomending against HTC. Samsung Omnia is looking real good now.

Beware of HTC's large screen phones.
Any force applied to them, even taking off a screen protector, is enough to produce "newton rings" and the screen stops responding to touch.
Not much use for a touch screen phone.
HTC refuse to cover this by warranty and refuse to negotiate. expect to shell out up to $500 to repair it. With no guarantee that the next screen won't do the same thing.
Design or Materials fault but they won't cover it by warranty.
