Always stayed away from HTC because of the Sense skin. Maybe that’s just me…

If, by too many, you mean models, I agree. I cannot quite comprehend the necessity of such a broad range of models in the HTC family. It is nightmarish for prospective buyers to make selection, even more so for the marketers and retailers to promote HTC devices. This from a South African perspective, where HTC is almost frowned upon. Quite disappointing.

Same here, but my other friends still insist Xbox is better after replacing them 3+ times each.

I did. I’ve only replaced 1 PS3 since launch. Most of my friends are on their 4th and 5th XBOXs.

I think that they should have more products to choose from, that would be a good step in the right direction. Laptops, TV’s, Computers PC, things that the average consumer needs other than cell phone. Get more young developers, change the UI, make it more fun for the consumer.make more long lasting phones as well. I’m a Loyal HTC fan, but I would like to see something hot innovative and has endless updates along with kick a** hardware, when its time for me to upgrade.

Extra batteries that I can just pop in and expandable memory through microSD cards have been an advantage for me time and time again with most Android phones I’ve owned. It will really, really suck if the day comes when Android phones are just like the iPhone (and now HTC phones) and have non-removable batteries and non-expandable memory.

*with a non-removable one

1. Drop Sense. It’s ugly and a large part of the difficulty with the next problem…
2. Updates. Do them. If Verizon drags their feet, then “leak” it.
3. Batteries. Never sell a phone without a non-removable one. My Rezound has already killed its stock battery and an extended, with the batteries lasting 2 and 4 hours on a full charge, respectively. If I couldn’t swap them out, then my phone would be a brick. Also, people travel, camp, go to festivals, etc where they can’t be tethered to an outlet, so they need backups, especially since your phones always have abysmal battery life under even the best of circumstances.

They are wasting money, at least in the US, on promoting a phone that is available to limited number of people only. Only AT&T sells the One X. Let’s face it. HTC is not Apple, very few people will switch to HTC just to use the One X. On top of that, we all know that AT&T’s user base is very heavy in iPhone users. As for the DNA, I bet 8 out of 10 people won’t notice that it’s from HTC — they just know it’s a Droid phone.

Ah, we have a title change. The original title of this post was “Skitch for Android Sees Big Update for Android.”!

While they may not be able to create every handset to be have the Nexus designation, they should focus on their outstanding hardware. Then release them with stock versions of Android tailored for the hardware in each handsets and that’s it. No Sense. However, there are great HTC apps that have been part of recent releases of Sense so HTC can either provide them for free or even charge a nominal fee for them. For example, if people want a Sense launcher, they can choose is as an option. Keeping the Sense overlay will show the public how fantastic HTC handsets truly are. Then MARKET THE HECK OUT OF THE CONCEPT!

I think the real lesson here is don’t get so emotionally attached to what phone manufacturers say as “promises”.

As Butters619 said, the Razr M is a good choice. Though personally, I’d get something else for your kids to play on and get the phone you want, be it a (used) deactivated smartphone with Wifi, an iPod Touch, or something else that uses Wifi without using your data plan, and keeps your phone safe for you.
