Very nicely written review! I remain impressed by HTC's build quality, although I haven't owned one myself (use a crackberry for work, and my wife uses an LG Optimus One). However, I've used this phone a bit and came away impressed (although I ended up playing Tower Defence most of the time.. addicting game that it is ;-)). Extremely well put together product, and you get the feeling that you are holding a solid well built and well engineered product.
