But yeah, I've got two dead samsung TV's at my house.

Their motto should be, "plastic outside, even cheaper inside."

Two perfectly functional Samsung tvs over here. Never been happier. Love my HTC phone though

Weird. Guess I was lucky.

Been an HTC guy since the 6700 BECAUSE I thought that phone was pretty damn good. Thing was built like a tank, I never had a case on it, dropped it multiple times from full standing height hard onto concrete, down stairs, face down, everything. The outer plastic took a beating and the phone hit so hard several times that it actually shut off. But it never had a single problem from the drops, the keyboard was tight and solid until I sold it.

What is this "keyboard" issue you speak of for Touch Pros? I had one Touch Pro and it was perfect until I upgraded to the OG Evo. That was another great phone, so much power packed into such a little form factor. Though they have not been immune from the trendy sickness of "simplifying the user interface " aka losing hardware controls! >=( Still, HTC has been the company most closely following my mobile philosophy, packing as much functionality into the device as possible, even if it makes it a little fiddly.

Not that the Evos have had that problem! But even after upgrading to the LTE, I realize how awesome the original Evo was, there is almost nothing the LTE can do that the OG Evo could not.

I had the 6700 also, my freind Rob used to make fun of the cheap looking silver body, he called it a "Fisher-Price My First Smartphone". To be fair though, it was my first smartphone... I still actually have that PPC-6700 though. I loaded up some music on it and gave it to my son to use as a media player. I went from that to the touch pro to the TP2 (never had any issues with the keyboard), and then the OG EVO and the LTEVO, and I loved them all. The only times I had problems with them was when I dropped them too many times (and I lucked out on gettting a brand-new TP2 to replace my original TP through the service and repair plan, so no complaints there).

I have had a long affair with HTC. I haven't meant to end up this way, but my affair started back with the HTC Wallaby using Microsoft PocketPC. Later it continued with the HTC Alpine using PocketPC again. Next was the HTC G1 Dream, then the HTC EVO 4G, and now my latest affair is with a very slim and curvy HTC EVO 4G LTE. I have wanted to look for greener pastures, but my eyes always come back to HTC. They keep pulling me back in!

Holy crap, that sucks big time. Honestly both HTC and Samsung have some amazing phones, and some really ****ty ones. The Galaxy SII was an amazing and still is an amazing phone. The problem with HTC is their freaking battery life, but I'll take that any day over an exploding phone

Haha so it was an external force like I thought.

The LTE is going to be my last HTC phone. This is my fifth, I've also had a 3D, 4G, Touch Pro 2, and Touch.

But their complete lack of support for the LTE so far doesn't give me much faith in their future. The LTE has been out for over a month and still not a update to fix the bugs or to address the Google Wallet issue.

The Galaxy S3 has only been out a little over 2 weeks and Samsung already issued an update to fix their Google Wallet issue and bug fixes.

So... HTC took a step forward with their build quality, but several steps back with their user experience.

To be fair, HTC might've already made an update. For all we know, Sprint may be testing it before they decide to make it OTA. What I'm trying to say is that the hold up is not necessarily on HTC's end, it may be on Sprint's.

The one x and one s don't have the google wallet problems, only real difference is sprint so I think that's where the fault lies...
