They sent me a link to a survey to rate my experience with the help. So, I answered.
Quote:
My inquiry to HTC was in relation to the 30FPS cap for the HTC EVO. I have given my business to HTC for my last two mobile devices, and my enthusiasm for the Hero was enough for my whole family to get one as well.
I find the response that the FPS cap was constrained by the HDMI port ludicrous and insulting. The Motorola DroidX possesses one as well and does not experience this. Additionally, it's a widely known fact that developers have been able to break the cap and I've witnessed videos of the EVO reaching up to 57 FPS. At this point I can only imagine that this is a cost/benefit issue for HTC to release an update as opposed to developing a new phone. I don't have high hopes for seeing the Froyo 2.2 update before Christmas, because like I said I owned a Hero and was burned by the nonsense of being teased for 6 months with hints of an update. The "Sense UI" is not more valuable than Froyo, and we should have an option to update to 2.2 vanilla or wait for the Sense-wrapped 2.2.
I expect to be contacted about this, because currently I am investigating other manufacturers for my next android phone on Sprint. It is incredibly disappointing to put my HTC Hero side by side with my Evo and see that the former has smoother performance than my new, expensive phone that I purchased at FULL RETAIL that has double the hardware specs. I also hope that the Sense UI is dropped completely following the 3.0 Gingerbread update as the skin will be redundant and only serves to promote fragmentation and lag on the operating system updates.
My contact information is enclosed.
