Yes Substandard! Htc phones of today do NOT compare to the phones like the Wizard 100, Leo,Kaiser,diamond,dream,sapphire,etc. I can name HTC phones all day. HTC aren't as bold as they used to be, it seems as if they want to fit in more now than stand out... so that is where my opinion comes from. When HTC releases a new phone that I have to have I will go back to using them until then I will stick with my sammy phone!
