You're an idiot. Why do this? No one mentioned it?
Do you build your car world around a single car, and then ask why other car company's need multiple models? The worst thing you can bitch about is having several form factors and technical specs for different peoples' wants?

God, would you just shut up?
This phone isn't meant for the high-end market.
This phone is meant for people who want to jump in the smartphone bandwagon, and want to basic things, like facebook, music and the internet.

GM went bankrupt because they were a shitty company being run by idiots. Ford, on the other hand, is still kicking ass, and FYI, they have multiple choices.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
is that why you think GM went bankrupt? Believe me when I say that I mean this in the nicest way possible in this situation: you literally (yes, literally) have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Take some tme on wikipedia or some news site before you ever post something like that again. That is shameful.

ps I hope the trend continues for mid level smartphones. Some people are scared by too much functionality and just want to dabble.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/You're a moron -- it's actually _more_ profitable for HTC to have multiple models spanned across multiple carriers \ ranges of devices.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jun 14th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
You android fanboys can scream choice all you want but does it really matter when 98% of the choices are pure trash?

And then the remaining 2% of android phones that manage to stand out (droid, incredible, evo) all have some sorta build problem?

Apple gets it RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

Thats why they only need one model. And that model sells more than all those shitty android phones..

So AT&T doesn't need android. It really doesn't. IF you want android go to verizon or sprint.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
I hope this is a new trend. I don't think I have seen a fanboy so roundly eviscerated for sheer stupidity. I like this new Engadget comments section.

Hopefully the discourse will become more civil and we can discuss the article instead of make irrelevant comments about other devices/companies for no reason.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/

Well of course you do Apple Hater.

So long as the majority of the commentators are

1) Pro Android
2) Anti Apple
3) Attack Engadge (accuse them of Apple Bias)
4) Call Apple Supporters & Fanboys stupid or w/e

You're fine and dandy.

You are entitled to your opinion but not every cellphone user likes a smart phone. Not every cell phone user cares about tons of apps whether it be Apple or Android or Win Mo or the other Mobile OS that exist. The reason why people are drawn to android is because unlike Apple you have many choices of phones that fit your taste.

Every Phone has its pro's and con's If you don't like android then why are you bothering to comment? This article is NOT about the iphone so just leave your fan boy opinions to yourself.]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/htc-aria-goes-official-for-atandt-gets-toyed-with-on-video/No one is Anti-Apple, Most are Anti-Troll, and most just happen to be rabid Apple fans.

Yeah, all of those DOA 27" iMacs shipped with shotty firmware coupled with cracked and yellow screens were perfect. So much so that Apple had to stop production for awhile.

Therefore, the fanboy gets the hammer with same or greater caliber.
Engadget is not a Brand-Fan site, it's a gadget-fan site.
Fanboys stating that HTC does bad gadgets (when we can always tell that they haven't used a HTC device in a long time, if at all) is the obvious path to gadget ignorance.

I think we could stop calling these 'fanboys' and just denominate them as n00bs. 'Cause that's what they are.

Gm went bankrupt because they ran of of sources for funding (regardless why). Ford was in the same position as GM except they had not run out of funding (like GM did from the Gov't). Ford had a bank account called, CEO of Ford AND Boeing, who "rescued" his failing corporation, Ford, by tapping into Boeings assets. Ford made worst cars than GM.

With all that said.. I am a fan of phones in general. I would compare it to a woman's love of shoes, or a sports fan's choice in baseball hats or jerseys.
