Hey guys, I just don't understand why HTC make so many smartphones, why don't they make an ubberwicked one and a small one or something like that instead of the incredible, the supersonic, the nexus one, etc...
@mxm because HTC makes hardware for more than one carrier, unlike apple, and the networks aren't compatible with each other. On top of that, each carrier is likely going to want something to make their phones stand out- a straight clone of an old phone running on someone else's network likely isn't going to cut it.
In this case specifically, Sprint is the only carrier that has anything close to a 4g network up and running- The supersonic simply can't be made for verizon/tmobile/sprint. The "incredible" is the supersonic minus the 4g capability, plus wifi to make up for it.
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.

@mxm For the same reasons BMW doesn't make one single vehicle; Options.
