I have taken phones back and swapped them out because they were crap. HTC has a small market and has very little pull with products with Verizon. The 6800 has been known about for at least a year now (I started looking and found it without a problem last December). I also find it hard to believe that the 6800 is that much of a mess. HTC has many products out and I have seen far fewer complaints about them than many other products. I think this has more to do with the CDMA companies changing everything on a device that probably worked fairly well from the factory (I understand every products has revisions, but would they have been as necessary with the manufactures software with WM5/6).

This is my opinion. There are many people that share it though.
