I want Samsung to understand that a lot of people in the US will favor HTC, just because HTC actually thinks about this market quite a bit.  Samsung seems to take the US for granted, but we have loyalty to many brands that put us first and HTC and others are rapidly climbing the trustworthy path, even as Samsung continues to churn out great gear — 6 months is too long for the largest market to wait.  And if that’s a problem with carriers, then Samsung needs to work that out, because other companies don’t seem to have as much delay.
