I don't see a whole lot about this that's really different... So they change the skins, so what? It doesn't really mean a whole lot if their devices are going to run like garbage from now on. I have a very different view of HTC ever since I got my tilt. Some of you may or may not know, but the htc kaiser/tytn2/tilt/mda vario III are all the same, and all operate on the qualcomm msm7200 chipset. While this chipset has awesome power and capabilities, HTC neglected to buy the drivers from qualcomm, leaving those features and awesome power behind. So when I try and do ANYTHING, it struggles horribly. At this point, I'd like HTC to first get a solid WORKING device out to the masses, then start revamping their interface. Ugh...now I'm stressed out again... Is it just me, or is this not THAT impressive? I don’t see a whole lot about this that’s really different…
