@scoobydooby Every single HTC and Samsung (and LG, etc..) phone is released in europe and asia 6 months ahead of USA...and first to have 4g? May wanna check your facts on that one -- I am not positive but I think a european country had the first ever comercially available 4g network for consumers. And most of these phones run on chips designed in the US? LOL! ALL of these phones run chips based on ARM instruction sets, which is a British company, and chances are 99% of all the parts and silicon themselves are made in asia.
@DoctarPeppar Well, there's a reason why every Samsung and LG phone are released in Asia before anything else . . . perhaps it could have something to do with the fact that both companies are Korean?
@Peytral I agree. Phone selection here is pathetic. Network is pathetic. Cell Plans are extremely pathetic. Overall, the Canadian Cell system is absolutely ridiculous (and I love in the most densely packed city here) . My HTC HD had to come from Europe.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
''HTC HD2 gets purchased and unboxed early'' in Europe and asia last year
USA is very behind in getting new technology exclude the OS
@OCEAN CLAK
First with iPhone, first with an Android phone, first with a 4G network, first with Nexus One.
Plus, most of these phones run on chips made and designed in the US. So yeah, the US really is "behind".

@scoobydooby we are behind on most phones..... dont take it offensivly we just are, no big deal. if you think otherwise go google it.
@OCEAN CLAK
You think USA is behind? You should come up to Canada sometime. Everything here tech related is 3rd world.

@DoctarPeppar Except for the G1, Instinct, and Nexus One.
@scoobydooby first with a Pre.

Canada is like it's own little planet.

@scoobydooby Norway and Finland are the very first to roll out a commercial 4th Generation Network...like...not in your country.
