Do you not think its a good point though ? HTC sounds face-less, corporate, business jargon.

Battery test shows pretty good results. Looks like they managed to upgrade the screen and leave battery usage at the same level, I must say I'm impressed. It has practically the same results as SGS III, whilve having twice as much pixels to feed.

The more i use my SGS3 and play with other peoples Sense skinned HTC phones i just think its about time HTC lightened up their skinning of Android.
Touchwhiz is better imo, they need to give a little more pure Android look and feel and i think then HTC might even compete with Samsung. Sense feels bloated when i use it.
Oh and a name change might do them good. Lets face it, HTC sounds corporate just like LG, ZTE etc.
People like Apple and Samsung because probably, subliminally they have proper names like a friend. Not an abreviation of three words.
WHAT? Samsung is a corporate business & name (they do more than Smartphones, chips, storage/memory, fridges, washer/dryers, trucks, etc. they're the Korean Honda & Panasonic rolled into 1). Samsung is now a household brand so its easier to accept ... that comes with commercial success and end user recommendations. Apple is a common word in the english language along with a minimal reference to science (gravity) and religion (Christianism forbidden fruit). But I won't go further about either being accepted more than the other.
I agree about the "Sense UI" though ... HTC has been at that basic layout for over 4yrs now and debuted first on Windows Smartphone Edition 6.1/6.5 ... its getting old and needs to be replaced ASAP. Great hardware here but its only on Verizon so its not too useful to me.

But a single word name like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Motorola etc they're easy to remember. They're proper names even if they have romantic meaning behind them such as Apple. How many users do you think before they first ever heard of HTC phones upon coming across them said to themselves "H T what ?? H S B C ? ? H R T ?? oh HTC !? - got it !"
I did, i bought an O2 XDAII in 2004 and didnt have a clue who made it until i researched it. When i found out it was made by HTC i thought to myself, who the hell are HTC. I was also unsurprised the casing cracked so easily without the phone ever being dropped.
Since then, ive been a bit cautious of HTC devices because they've always seemed lower quality than the bigger names. From someone who once thought H T C who ?? i think its a good reason why they never get the same custom as Samsung and why even though this new phone looks great on paper, Samsung and probably Sony will make better phones in the new year to once again put HTC into second in the Android race.
As for Sense, i liked it on the One X, but after spending time with my SGS3 this past six months going back to Sense seems like using SPB Shell on Symbian - a replacement UI that is slow and bloated and does a worse job than it actually was intended to do.
