I don’t know why it is taking so long for the likes of AT&T and Verizon to get this end of HTC phones. Well, I get AT&T not getting it yet. They just renewed the Apple contract for both the iPhone and now the upcoming iPad. Introducing an HTC product of this calibur (Hero, Desire, Legend) would seriously endanger the sales of the iPhone. Now calm down iloyalsts. I had an iPhone that i LOVED dearly, and still miss. Long story short, it broke after the year warranty. After much research HTC has really raised the bar. For a company to make so many phones, having more broad a spectrum to the levels of phones than carmakers today… and the high end are still HIGH end wihtout suffering on the “basic” models.
I love my MAC and I loved my iPhone, but for the iphone… 3G or 3Gs, it’s all the same… 1 option. iPhone or no iPhone.
I have been with the same carrier for over 3 years after my displeasure with my previous provider. I would leave my current phone company and go with the old one for either the Desire or Legend. I was tempted to do so for the Hero. (there’s a hint for you on the “phone proveder”).
Side note, do not be fooled… just because Orange picks up a phone in the UK, does not mean AT&T will bring it state side.
