I'm glad I'm not the only person on this list who loves HTC devices but hates how they mishandled the ImageOn fiasco :( They never did fix it, did they? Glad I kept my Alpine for satnav duties, even though it doesn't have persistent RAM (yes, if the battery dies, it factory resets... Retro!) Have you heard anything about whether the Vario 4 (HTC Raphael) has the same issues? I skipped the Vario 3 and my Vario 2 has recently REALLY started to show signs of age... largely due to the abuse it's taken from me over the past 20 months... but I could really do with an upgrade sometime soon. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
