I think HTC is the closest thing to a credible competitor for Apple in the smart phone business. Their phones are incredibly well built, and Sense UI looks quite good and is improving.

I was rooting for Palm, but it looks like they are unable to deliver phones in Sweden.

In my dream world I'd get a HTC built phone using the webOS GUI paradigm, but with the OS and applications written in a language which compiles to native code instead of JavaScript.

HTC has come a long way from the purveyor of crappy Windows Mobile devices they used to be.

My first exposure to them was a Windows Mobile phone a couple of years ago, was an exercise in frustration.

Possibly because of the software, and the fact that I always lost the stylus.

But when I'm looking for an iPhone replacement, one of their Android devices will be a strong contender.

My wife and her parents used to have AT&T Tilts (HTC TYTN II). Like you, they were very frustrated with the phones. Now they all have iPhones and are very happy.
