1) The post I was replying to sounde - to me, at least - as if the CPW chap was fobbing him off with the line "he was unable to fix the problem, but he mentioned that I should wait for the 2.1 upgrade", hence my opening statement. The owner didn't expect 2.1 to fix it, it sounded like the guy in CPW did.
2) I'm not trying to say it was a distinct branding label, I just mean from my own notes from playing with quite a few different Androids it seems like the Tattoo is the last of a series of adaptations to the formula, and one which isn't being carried forwards. This is fair enough.
3) I understand that a lot of people have had direct responses from HTC in the past - such as yourself - and that is genuinely annoying. I was more referring to the posts which seem to be throwing the toys out of the pram and expecting more from HTC than any other manufacturer would have given, WinMo and iOS included. I'm firmly of the belief that products are sold as seen, and except in cases like yours where you've specifically been told something before purchase which later is revoked, the product you buy is the product you live with.
I hope that makes it a little more clear. I wasn't grinding my axe with anyone in particular, and I wasn't trolling. All the best.

Hi there,
All your britishy nonsensical english aside, I couldn't disagree more. For a couple of reasons...
First, you said in your previous post that a "magical" software won't fix an sd card issue. That is very incorrect. I've worked with a lot of embedded systems and know for a fact that software such as kernel drivers can be updated to help the reader support different brands of sd card. Not all SD cards are equal. Some are not completely 100% compatible with all readers and yes, a software patch can sometimes fix that.
Second, what you said about products being sold as seen is hogwash. If this were a hat, or a chair, or some kind of static item maybe. But phones and electronics like this are ever changing software wise. having newer software on them allows them to run the latest applications and staying at an ancient version of the software prevents that. Also, hardly ever is there a device like this made that doesn't have bugs in it from the beginning and those bugs are usually discovered after the products have been released. What I expect is HTC and companies like them to support their products and fix issues and if that means upgrading, so be it. It isn't like this hardware is 100% incompatible with Android 2.1. If that were the case, I wouldn't complain, but I would expect serious fixes to 1.6.
So for someone who works at a phone company, you really have a lot to learn. I'm not trying to b*tch you out over this, but I strongly disagree with your view. These people here have a right to have a fully supported phone with patches and fixes. It's too expensive of a device to be left hanging.
