The camera could have been better
The software hasn’t changed all that much and is still not user friendly

I have to admit that my opinion has been changed and Im now more than willing to look outside the HTC world for a phone. If asked would I like one of these to own I would say yes. The experience I had with this handset is one I never thought I would. ...
