Its freakin about time guys.. I'm very excited to see a highly reputed blog bringing this issue in the forefront.
If only now all of the other blogs also take the responsibility to follow suit we're sure to see some results.
Just come to think of it.. there are companies like Apple who is working on maximizing their software engine to deliver for the lack of hardware in the form on cell phone triangulation to compensate for a GPS chip... and in this case, the darn Qualcomm chips have the ATI uber advanced GUI engine built into it so WHY.. JUST WHY.. does someone not choose to include s/w for it is gotta be a bigger mystery than Area 51.
Geeks and bloggers of world... I hereby ask you to stand united in this quest. OK.. i'll tone it down. Just keep doing your bit of posting more about this issue and rest will come itself.

The problem with Qualcomm IMO is all the good stuff they make goes to Verizon by way of LG. HTC should have stayed with Marvell's XScale system, with 3rd party baseband. I really wish Qualcomm gets bankrupted by the Broadcom judgements.

I don't think it's an issue with Qualcomm's chipset. Last I heard, there are devices out there that aren't manufactured by HTC, that have the 7200 Qualcomm chipset and aren't under-performing.
