I can't believe someone on TMO is defending HTC's Dev-Unlock utility decision.

Basically, devs have abandoned HTC, basically boycotted it.
The people who ask them for advice have chosen not to buy into HTC.
I'm talking from experience.

HTC decided to be a lil' btch and bent over to the OEMs, that's what killed them. Just compare them to Samsung who had begun to have a ONE flagship device without much carrier bloat, or bloaty skin, and dev friendly.
