HTC phones really are rubbish!
I'm tied into a 2yr contact and tbh from day one it's been rubbish....
I got the phone as at the time I was achievement point crazy on Xbox and getting additional points on the phone was cool...
The biggest bug bare I have had with it from day one is the flash light always turns off if you accidentally touch a button or the screen - stupid when your palm touches it as you trying to shine the light on something..
Few months back it began to intermittently charge and today I figured I'd do something about it.....
I get to the O2 store and hassle free they say here's a replacement phone until yours is fixed... Then the girl says 'have you taken off everything you need as it will be wiped!' no I replied to which she adds 'never mind we can'
10 minutes later it turns out you can't copy from the phone to sim on the HD7...
Anyone here every tried writing down about 100 numbers on a till roll (they had no paper) with a phone dying... What a piece of dog turd.
It must be the only phone in the world that can not do copy to sim... - before anyone says do a back up on the p.c .... I would if it would connect! It connects and then drops off randomly..
Can't wait until the contract ends in feb.. IPhone al the way.
Start a phone vs phone war if you like. The fact is... Apple is good
Oh and while I was there I played with the new HTC... That just wound me up even more... The touch screen is pants, you touch a letter and it does something completely different.. .sooner they go bust the better...

the windows phones are crap and always have been.have gone from iphone 3g/3gs then 4 to a htc incredible s and android so much easier to use espcially with the new ics update plus not tied to itunes for everything.

I love it when people say "not tied to iTunes for everything". What they fail to tell you is they use one program for music, another for back up, another for this and another for that. I just plug mine into the USB slot and iTunes does everything and does it well. Bonus.

errr, no.
HTC's on android rock.
Beat the crap out of iPhones due to the openness of the platform.
There's nothing my laptop can do that my phone can't, only my phone is also a sat nav and a phone of course, and a tonne of other things.
I can even edit office documents on it.
Sounds like a classic case of someone blaming the product when it's the software ( and the user) to blame...

Obvious Troll is obvious.
I'm talking more about the freedom to get the kind of apps that you might want - for example free google navigation software that actually works.
Office document readers/writers.
The freedom to browse your phone as a dircetory (or even a device).
I don't really care, people love apple phone, I used to have an Iphone, moving to an HTC was like "seeing the light" in terms of using your phone as you actually want, rather than how apple think you should, but whatever.
BE happy with your £500 handsets....

I'd rather be in 1995 and have all my details on the sim. What if you smash the screen on your phone / get it wet.. the phoens ruined.
You can't blame user for not having the basic option of save to sim or phone.
Fayes number is on that phone!!!

Everytime I add a contact on my HTC, it automatically updates my google account with the contact details. Lost phone, I can block & wipe it from my pc the next time it's turned on. New phone, put google login details in and it restores all the contacts.

Why do you fancy a bum?
Of course not , you're all too busy living in the past transferring numbers to sim cards
Also wasn't you the spaz who bricked his phone doing a update? Hahahaha
HTC users the new Retards of the phone industry
