You know, HTC-branded HTC Magics have Exchange support, like the one I have. If HTC were to make an Android business device, *OBVIOUSLY* they would include Exchange support, and therefore make the device HTC-branded, not Google-branded.

I can't help but notice how ridiculously similar this looks to the HTC Touch Diamond2:

Alright, this phone may be overpriced, but if you compare the price to every other smartphone on the market, it's not.

I think a lot of you don't understand the different between unlocked and subsidized phones. Subsidized phones are cheaper because you are forced in to a 2-year contract, so you pay your operator back for the discount in monthly payments basically (but you get service as well).

The iPhone's unlocked price is similar to that of an HTC Touch Pro, but I don't hear anyone calling that overpriced.

You guys are stupidly acting like this phone will not be subsidized. It most definitely will by tons of carriers, at which point the phone will cost the same as any other smartphone, but will also be available unlocked at this price. The reason they have to announce the unlocked price vs. the subsidized price is because every carrier subsidizes a different amount. Apple could advertise the $200 price because AT&T was the only carrier to get the iPhone (well, the only one in the US).

HTC has no subsidized price to advertise, so therefore they aren't.

Uh, why do you think the N97 will be any cheaper than this?
