Why would I want to buy another HTC phone when every reason why I bought this one is being taken away, one by one? This isn't my first HTC phone but it's certainly my last.

                  Just a spoiler alert for all the readers born after 1990 - the whole tech industry is completely based on stealing other people's ideas and blatant copying. Everything you know and use is in some way copied or stolen from something else with no exceptions.

                  From lawsuits like these - the biggest looses are us, the consumers, as we are the ones that have to deal with the effects no matter which side you're on.

Because those are the fastest chancing and developing things. Show me one people who is not willing to have a new model, instead of his EVEN ONE YEAR OLD computer, smartphone, thablet, etc... and consider how old is your dissapointing ONE?

                          Aaah, so there is a need to explain what Deutsche Telekom is, but no need to explain what Verizon or Sprint is. Give me a break. Deutsche Telekom is the incumbent operator in one of the top nations and owns way more networks than f***** Ver izon including T-mobile US. An average European who doesn't read these pro-American tech blogs would have absolutely no idea what AT&T is.
