    MyName, 09 Apr 20114th HTC, huh??? :)))) I bet it's HTC with Windows on it.LOL! Ya got me there. I'm on my 5th HD2 and you'd think by now I'd upgrade to a better phone huh? Well silly me for not like ANY of the choices that Tmo has had in the past year. Samsung Vibrant is plastic and feels cheap, HD7 is nothing but a HD2 with WP7 (after going through this experience, I aint buying another Windows Phone, This was my 1st and last Windows phone), Nexus S is nice but its made by Cheap build Samsung, G2 is nice but it's under 4 inch screen keeps me from buying it, Mytouch not happening, cliq aint buying, FINALLY a 4.3 inch Decice that I actually am looking forward to the HTC Pyramid is coming so I'll finally be able to get rid of and upgrade off of this HD2. Thanks for the insults and for knowing my story. And for giving me my opinion for me. LOL

      AnonD-5197, 09 Apr 2011I really wish I was into stocks earlier. HTC went up 85%+ ... moreNothing supporting his argument apart from above HTC (number 3) sits number 1, which is Apple.

      Don't worry Nokia is still number 1 in "market share" which won't pay the bills.

        I'm not an Apple fanboy for a start, but I'll defend them against stupid ill informed comments.

          That was because of their Desire and Wildfire lines mostly. Unfortunately they don't have any successful phones planned for this year so it'll go downfall if they don't come up with something new.

              Yet Another Android, 09 Apr 2011Nokia Take note of this, Bring us an Alternative to Android... moreIt's fine if Nokia wants to work with MS on a WM-based handset. However, I would like to see Nokia keep the Symbian OS - because it's a more sensible name than MeeGo - and make Symbian into a kick-ass OS which will enable it to go toe-to-toe with the others.

                      HTC's success is well deserved. I've had many phones from many manufacturers with good and bad experiences but HTC has never disappointed me, quite the opposite in fact. They just keep surprising me.

                        I had many many Android devices.
                        HTC has the best UI , I don't have to use launchers and other tweaking
                        things to mess up the OS.

                        I will buy Galaxy S2 but something tells me I will have to go back to HTC due to bad software of Samsung.

                          Yet Another Android, 09 Apr 2011So true. I JUST sent back my 4th HD2 because the Headphone... moreFunny thing that I have my HD2 for almost 2 years and now problems with it.

                          And, I started with WM6.5, tryed some custom XDA WinMo Roms, switched to dual boot with Android 1.6, migrated to Froyo, tried WP7, when Gingerbread was finally portted to HD2, I just erased all my WinMo stuff and migrated to NAND Android.

                          HD2 is a beast and is by far the most tweaked device in the world.

You know... usually smart people change phones after the 2nd one breaks down on them. Also if its the headjack that is causing problems, you would think you're smart enough to switch to a bluetooth ear piece, apparently nokia fanboys lack common sense even after switching to another device huh?

                                    By the way Bricked, you keep making these stupid fanboy jokes most of them related to how everything else is inferior to Apple with nothing supporting your argument which just makes you sound like an uneducatedp person.

                                    There is in fact a huge competition in the Android market between HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, and many others jumping into take their share. What are you comparing to when you say it's easier to "lump [Android] and make your own innovation"? What's that even mean? and what's it easier compared to? Stop making fanboys look bad.

                                      every year Nokia release about 50 different models..


                                      about 40 of these are cheap low range phones which are sold in poor countries... hence why they sell so many handsets ..
