I just read the news about HTC earning some profit this year. If you ask me, this Taiwanese "Apple-Wannabe" company needs to die !! I cant believe people are actually buying HTC products. I can understand iSheeps. For them their devices add to their status symbols, but HTC...its just plain retard logic being their products.
Is there any HTC phone other than the One M7/M8 thats is ever slightly worth recommending?
Ill quote one line from this article HTC swings to slim profit, but sales still down in 'challenging quarter' - CNET
Who are these people buying these phones ? Why are they buying those crappy Desire line of phones?
Recently HTC launched Desire 501 , a thick, bulky mid range 15-20k segment device, with 4.7"FWVGA and NO FLASH camera.
What---da---actual---fraak ???????? DO they expect people to spend money on this ??
Ok, so with Big MNC company comes MNC quality servicing. Oh really? In East region of India there are only 4 service centers ! Just F-ing 4 !!!! If my (imaginary) HTC phone has slight problem, i have to send it to KOLKATA !!!!! Thats half way around the country for me ! Flextronics Collection points are useless as they are merely agents and dont know **** about repairs.
The only "good" phone from HTC is the One M8 and M7 . But they are extremely overpriced, and cost a lot more than their rivals. Their justification is their unique features like front facing speakers, Metalic body and 4mpx Ultracrappypixel camera. Rivals phones have much more practical exclusive unique features and they still cost much lesser.People out here buy the M7 / M8 just because its expensive. Rich people dont want to be seen using something commoners middle class people use.
So what amazes me is, how can a company , which is more or less Chinese (Taiwan), with no fancy brand image like Samsung and Apple, continue to do business when they have delivered only ONE decent phone (Htc One) since HTC One X, and thats like 4-5 years ago! Is there something i missed in my Business Studies class? I thought low quality equals to low sales and good quality equals to high sales, but in reality its the cr@p ones thats thrive..

FACEPALM !!HTC also identified the Desire 610 and 510 as strong performers in the US and Europe, while the Desire 816 was "solid" in Taiwan, China, India and the Middle Ea"
