Hardly HTC killer on 2.1
But will it matter to the everyday public...no I think not.
But then neither has the grip of death on iPhone 4, 2 people in my office still want it..."they will fix it somehow in the software" I was blithley passed off as a fool for suggesting that the entire reciever would need sorting therefore meaning disassembly.
This irked me no end, I was not rabid fanboi about it (thats really not me, I like Apple shaking the phone market up a bit) but people really don't realise how these things work they really believe what they are sold.
