[BNM] Are HTC devices any good?

[Pete Barr-Watson]

if you want a windows mobile handset then HTC are one of the best OEM's. I
have a few htc's including the Diamond (the non-keyboard version of the
touch pro) and it's pretty awesome. Of course, the iPhone is the current
leader in the touch space...
lower end htc's are just that, low end. they're not very good because
they're low end, not because they're htc...
