Hmm. This is my first HTC device and my first Android OS so and I didn't know about those issues.
Now that I have it, I still don't have those issues - no light leakage, speaker works fine, sense works great, build quality is fine with me.
Either way, they do have some issues including the pink hue and call quality with some folks - so it's certainly not a perfect device. But I've not seen much about the 5 you listed and I don't experience them.
Guess I'm lucky
Oh also - if you think Android users are worse than Apple users, you are sadly mistaken. lol

I'm not sure if I said EVERY SINGLE HTC DEVICE Has all those problems(and if i did, i apologize)
but alot of those issues are known issues with HTC devices....
Oddly enough, the diamond is a device I remember wanting to get at one time when it was relevant and the sales rep adamantly argued against me getting the phone due to issues.....
ALL HTC DEVICES are not glitchy...But the said issues are not things I made up but things that quite a few Eris, Evo, incredible, and Hero users are facing
With the select few that got a "perfect" device
There were some issues about the motorola droid but all in all, i think i have had a near perfect droid....

Well this hasn't been my experience at all. I would rather talk to an Android lover over an Apple Fanboy any day of the week. Both defend their devices to the max, but the Android fans are a hell of a lot more rational about it. There are very good reasons that the Apple Fan's have been sterotyped... it comes from truth.
But I will say this. I think you are partly correct. But not so much that the Android Fans are worse than the Apple Fans. It's that the Android fans have more to bash, if they want to at least. The Android Fans can not only bash Apple... they can bash other Android devices, too! The Apple only has 1 phone in the mix to make fun of.
If it's a pure OS to OS fight, I have to say that the Apple guys are WAY worse. It's not until you throw manafactures into the mix that you end up with more for the Android guys to pick on.

Its not about bashing an android user. Its about bashing a Guy for asking for the moon and getting mad that they told him they can't give it to him. It is well known that HTC is having issues getting screens from Samsung. Verizon legally. Has to give him a brand new one because of how new to him it is. If they don't have any new ones there only other option would be to give him a refund witch they offered to do. It is a frustrating situation but that can't be helped at this point.

Yea... you kinda did
It's okay though, I took it to mean "it's a well known problem". I know lots of people with HTC phones and honestly, these problems are pretty rare.
Its just that when you are on a forum dedicated to a specific device, its going to seem like every phone out there is crap and has XYZ problems. As many have pointed out, people tend to complain a lot more than they praise. Noone really speaks out until they have a problem.
Hey dzien,
I can very much relate with wanting and keeping a device, no matter what it may be, in respectable and prime condition. (maybe I learned it from my father. Hehe) I'm currently running on a Storm 1 that I've had for the past year; with the clickable/independent screen interface; I've got dust and particles lining and seating around the screen as well as far reaching under the screen to the center. Daylight only reminds me worse how saturated its become, even with wonderful care. I can't imagine how disappointed I'd be using a phone without an independent screen and for as short of a time as you to be suffering from a circumstance that should reflect a year or more old device. As far as customer service, I've come close to switching carriers only to realize, humans work at every store.. LOL. Although, when I do meet a verizon employee that blesses me with a great attitude, I try to let them know how exceptional they are. I hope you meet one of those exceptional employees in the near future.

But i have to wonder out of all the people who complain about their HTC device(whatever phone it is) here in the forums
how many people are out there who have no idea about places like this.
Like i can't even remember how i actually came across androidforums but for the supposedly 70,000 people androidforum has here...we are only 10% of the android population so how many other non-forum people have these problems.
Somebody said(either in this thread or another) that if there were really that many issues Verizon would stop selling it due to overwhelming complaints
Look at the Blackberry storm...that phone had a flurry of complaints and verizon was still pushing that phone for well over a year....

interesting....
basically my inc wont charge the battery anymore so i went to verizon store
they are sending me a replacement in 2 days (1 day if i wanted to pay 9$)
so hopefully they just got a bunch of new or refurbs to be sent out?

Ohhh I see what your sayin. Apple users aren't cannibals. But Android users are.. Yea that's true.
Buuut to be fair - We are too large and diversified to shun the entire community because of a small % of users' actions.
Especially on the intranet
- it's expected.On the other hand, it kind of comes with the territory don't you think? I mean don't PC users bash each others hardware even though they both use Windows 7?
iPhone users don't have the option of inbred fighting so they got a leg up on us.
If that's the case, they'd better get mine on a truck. I ordered a replacement on July 1 (my phone's earpiece is completely dead - phone is only usable w/ speakerphone) and have been told it'll ship out at the beginning of August. August. To replace a phone that I can't even use as a phone. Pretty sad if you ask me. Oh, and they told me the 60 WFG was BS and I had until July 11 (this coming Sunday) to decide if I want a different phone. Oh and yeah - I, too, have to deal with the whole close-to-$300 charge on my account that I will probably have to pay because my bill will be due before the replacement phone shows up.
As far as I can tell, Verizon has basically told me to pound sand.
Just a quick update. I called customer service yesterday evening, told them my situation and that I really didn't want to be forced into making a relatively uninformed decision by Sunday, and they extended my WFG to 60 days.
Just goes to show that it really depends who you get on the phone. I'm actually kinda thinking this Ashley person to whom I spoke yesterday might be the same one I talked to back in May to get an early upgrade authorized (after a previously unsuccessful try a day earlier).
