You can say, "Well it's a phone and some people will drop them." Right, but a car is a car and sometimes people get in car accidents. Does this happen every day? No. Do people get mad when it happens, yes. Does it mean HTC doesn't stand behind their product when the end user drops the phone and offers to repair the damages for a fee? No, that's why there are insurance options on all phones you purchase available to you by your carrier.
It's not rocket science people.

Again, your car accident analogy is false... A car accident is a catastrophic event. How many times do you get in a car accident? Once every 3 or 4 years? How many times do you drop a phone? Personally, I drop my phone at least 10 times per year.
In this instance, the phone was charging on a coffee table, and the screen didn't survive the fall to the floor. IMHO, that is a pathetic lack of durability. Especially when you consider the performance of HTC's competitors. Virtually no other phone I know of would suffer that kind of damage from such an incidental event.
