    "Three U.S. government agencies have each deployed 30,000+ iPhones [and] three Fortune 100 companies have each deployed 25,000+ iPhones, including 19 Fortune 100 companies that have deployed 10,000+ iPhones," said Brian Marshall, an analyst with Broadpoint AmTech in his report.

I know that from my own experience, runing few workshops and software development group for few years already.

        So what's the big deal?

        Kinetic scrolling is something a "low end", "backward" (to paraphrase some n-sheep opinions) phone had years ago.

        Oooh, the N97 is so advanced.

        It's got a camera from 2007 and now it will have kinetic scrolling from the same era.

That's why I don't expect HTC to reach the top, and also don't want to(I want it be Vertu among the mid-high range public forever). HTC cellps are not for everyone, but everyone is welcome to try and use it. You advanced from n97 to Hero, next step for you is definetly HD2 in a year or so, if I didn't guess for u, then atleast I'm sure I'll go for HD2:D But won't leave Touch Pro :P

                  just slightly annoying about HTC is.. common people don't recognize it, and as the market gets flooded more and more by chinese brands with almost similar names, you know what their first guess about HTC is always. Lol..

                  However, I think HTC is second to none for Winmo and Android phones at the moment.
                  So I will enjoy holding the top line gadget for awhile here..
                  Cheers :D

                    Well you can download the update provided you're not in the UK anyway. Why do they always delay our updates?

                          Cocacola, 28 Oct 2009Yes, infact I was waiting and follow threads on N97 section... moreN97 ain't badest, just look at that iPhone :D HTC did the best by making Hero and now HD2. HTC surely knows how to build phones since Mteors and tytns poped up. Touch Pro lineup is IRREPLACABLE by other brands. Tell them how happy you are with your Hero :) My advices to all that want HTC:
                          If you want multimedia cell that is like iPhone but much better, then get Magic or Hero.
                          If you want business phone get Touch Pro 1 and 2.
                          If you want both bussines and entertainment device(50-50) then get Diamond2,Touch2 or Cruise.
                          If you want superb multimedia and business device in one(100) get HD or HD2.
                          If you want simple, yet smart phone, then get Touch Dual.
                          HTC grows fast, and it will grow more and more which will bring them ability to use quality lenses, advance video tech, and others. Buy atleast one of those, if you don't like, then sell it. I dare you all to get disapointed by any of those, cause it's almost imposible :D

                                    Yes, infact I was waiting and follow threads on N97 section for months, but get dissapointed mainly over CPU specs. My hunting is ended though, with google android HTC Hero. Yes, that guy etolix is right. It is a superb phone!

                                    However, I can't forget what appleboys did, and still do on nokia section particularly N97, how they've bean trashing and trolling there with unimaginable tone and garbage choice of words.

                                    Yes it's not perfect and so does your iphone so stop being such a fascist sheeps!
