I'm glad to see HTC doing so well, however, as a XV6800 (HTC Titan) user, I can say that they need to work on better quality. So some of those profits can be redeployed to better R&D and driver support. The bluetooth module on this phone is subpar, and on many forums there are numerous comments about the fact that HTC should release better drivers. My keyboard is starting to act flakey (after a year of generally light usage I should mention.)
A friend has the T-Mobile Dash, and, it too has developed strange problems with the audio out via headphones. The output volume is extremely low while using headphones, but then, once a call comes in, you are nearly rendered deaf by the loudness. T-Mobile seems unable to explain the problem and everyone is just scratching their heads.
I think HTC puts so much wizardry into devices, that they sometimes forget to just make the basic stuff reliable, which is a trend many technology companies follow. After all, they'll just fix it in the "next release."
Oh, and a final thought, maybe HTC can invest some of that profit in creating a consortium that makes standard interfaces for power, headsets, and other "basic" attachments to cell phones. Sure would be nice to have accessories that would outlive my devices!!!
