    I wish HTC would use some of this money in replacing their current outsourcer for customer support.

    As I type this, I'm currently 43 minutes in to my 14 (0845) call since late December arranging for collection of my THIRD replacement phone as it has exactly the same problem as the two that preceded it (the first of which was supposedly repaired twice).

        Thanks - I've now started to speak to HTC directly (01753 218 960).

          Have you checked out the XDA Developers forums? Plenty of extremely clued-up folks there, with solutions for issues with pretty much all HTC devices.

    OK, stop it right now!

    Just because some dipshit middle-manager saw a picture of a cloud in the visio drawing does not mean that everything on the internet is "in the cloud".

    Could be good....

    ...or not. The service must have to rely on a pretty good connection to keep pumping content down your phoneline - mobile or otherwise. With mobiles becoming more and more powerful do we really need this, or do we prefer downloading the complete content and playing it safe in the knowledge that all the data is where we want it (i.e. in the actual device)? Hmmm.....
