> But I would say HTC isn't bad


I have an HTC Desire (straight from HTC, not from a carrier) that has been
updated from 2.1 to 2.2, along with a number of firmware updates along the
way. I have a bad feeling about getting 2.3, though. Every time HTC releases
a new phone, I cringe (for the reasons Karsten outlined).

A friend of mine very recently bought one via a French or Swiss carrier and
is *still* stuck on 2.1. So carriers are definitely to be avoided if
possible.

A colleague has an HTC Hero and suffered through an excruciatingly long wait
to get upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1. It won't get any more updates, so at barely
a year old, the phone is obsolete... He won't be buying HTC again.

I think not supporting a phone for 2 years is a bad business practice that
just creates customer dissatisfaction.
