Htc and Samsung rule the smartphone space. My GALAXY NEXUS IS PISSING ALL OVER APPLE AND THAT SORRY IPHONE…

Real reasons why HTC had dipped:

-Unwise tablet-making choices. (by 2Q 2012, the Jetstream will look dated, and the previous tablets were greatly underpowered.)
-vampiric battery life. (I’m not aware of any changes to this)
-Unenthusiastic selection of devices. Perhaps even an over-saturation of devices.
-Lack of direction for their product platform.

I would add the locked bootloader, but this seems (somewhat) resolved.

Same feeling here. This is becoming more of one gigantic ad-channel. Quite sad…

That “ban” you’re talking about had almost negligible effect on HTC. Just for the sake of adding points?

The dip is more due to lack of exciting devices since the Desire series and a lack of class-leading hardware like Samsung. General interest dipped and that drove sales down. Its not too difficult to see why.
