I feel we need to support Sprint and HTC. I'm no company nut-hugging fanboy but I'd hate to see (rotten) Apple's actions be successful in damaging two companies who I feel are offering a superior product. HTC's stock has already taken a big hit from this and it's a result of Apple's "patent" on a common sense feature. Not to mention our new phone's will be crippled(not that it's a major feature, but it should be there) due to HTC's effort to work around the patent. I understand people's frustration with not getting an immediate refund for cancelling the pre-order but I imagine it's a big deal to make a major change to policy and practice in a large scale operation. Also, by cancelling your pre-order, Apple wins. Sprint, a company who is not in the greatest financial shape, is a pretty good alternative to the higher rates and data overage fees of competetors who are successful because sheeple will pay more for less. HTC, who analysts have been crapping on for a while because they've been in a relatively short term period of less profit between major offerings, is a pretty good alternative to overpriced, small screened, proprietary sheeple phones. So I'd recommend focusing our frustration on those who deserve it. Give the people at Sprint a break. We'll all get our phones relatively soon. Instead, I think Apple deserves to have their phone lines occupied with our voices. This also hurts Google in a less direct way. I hope they do a bully beatdown on Apple in support of HTC.
