Look at their recent devices - is it just me or has HTC stopped innovating? No new formfactors, same old tired 2.8" QVGA screens from the Jam on all their Pocket PCs, no 3G on the Vox, they're just milking the market while slowly adding features to their phones. Where's the revolution, all we see is slowly oozing evolution. Add EDGE instead of GPRS here, EV-DO instead of 1x there, make it a bit thinner, everything else stays the same.

Look at the Nokia N95 and compare it to the Vox - what BS! Why has HTC stopped innovating? They need a kick up their @ss in the form of a worthy competitor.

Nonsense. TouchFLO on the Touch is some neat software. It isn't ENOUGH, but it's innovation.

And the Advantage and Shift are quite revolutionary. You can debate whether they're a revolution (a) that works or (b) that we need, but they're trying to break out of or improve various envelopes.

Feel free to like the N95 more, that's your prerogative. But also, I feel it's quite unfair to compare the no-holds-barred N95 to the Vox, which was designed at least in part with cost in mind.
