    Yes, I like HTC even though I'm on a Samsung. I am looking to get a HTC phone next, since I believe they make more solid phones.

    Global domination on the horizon?

    Well it's only fair when competitors are striving for the same end goals.

    Like Nokia, Kodak and others, they all fall down eventually... People get bored and tired of the same brand, also when they get to the top they conveniently forget to innovate.

    Not surprised by this, don't know why Facebook isn't thought of as a platform rather than some kind of social experiment.

    Facebook is not available in China. My Friend told me we need over the wall software. Does any one have solutions?
