move away from the mentality of the network servicing iTards: if I want to run a voip app don't stop me. Since Verizon Wireless levies a sixty dollar per month PENALTY for attaching a 'smart' phone to one's account it seems like it would be unpopular to opt for the draconian AT&T policy. Listen... very... closely I would like an HTC phone because I use my phone like a PHONE :gasp: It is the only suitable replacement for my e815... a PHONE. I want a PHONE to: * have excellent audio fidelity as BOTH a handset AND a speakerphone (built-in) * have excellent signal reception- and transmission I do not run games on my phone: I have a PSP and a PDA. I do not want to view the interweb on my phone: I have a laptop I do not want to watch "high definition" or SD videos on my phone: don't r*pe video. I have a laptop. Stop wasting money developing the platform to distribute games, music, video, and interweb on PHONES!! Focus on the PHONE as a PHONE. When you have MASTERED PHONES and PHONE CALLING QUALITY then whatever... but you are not remotely close to that offering. Thank goodness for FCC mandated Open Access!! I want asterisk level filtering- and control over the calls to- and through my phone. That is a network/PHONE issue on which to focus... seems like something that should light up the eyes of any CIO.. or CTO in this case.
