I think it has to do with the lack of support for their devices. It makes sense to me because the Touch (Vogue) can and does support many software upgrades. But they can to come from different 3rd parties all becsause HTC wouldn't or couldn't do it. The whole time they are announcing and releasing newer phones-Touch Diamond, Touch Pro. It makes me feel left out. Makes me feel there is no support because I don't have the latest phone.

I realize that there is no real legal stance as HTC never promised, in writing, that they would update this phone. But at the same time,when I have to search for a 3rd party program so I may view the weather for my city, or fiddle with the registry so that Activesync doesn't pop up every time the time changes, etc. etc. C'mon people!! This phone was released last November and here it is July and I've got no update or support from Sprint or HTC. Why isn't there an official ROM yet?!?

I think part of the problem is that HTC has a jones for Android.

I'm just plain fed up and tired of rumors. I'm disspointed that a device with such potential was and is being ignored by its creators. It's like the Touch/Vogue was a stepping stone for the newer stiff they're focusing on. What is the reasoning behind this? Was this phone an experiment in R&D? What's the deal?
