No wonder he didn't return my e-mail last month about the buzz the Kaiser/Tilt/8925 has been getting on Howard Forums and elsewhere.

It was nice of him to give me a Mogul back in June, though, too bad I think Sprint is evil.

(I'm serious by the way and have proof for the skeptics.)

I do not know Todd Achilles or the situation surrounding his departure so my comments should be considered in light of this lack of knowledge. However, HTC should consider using this situation as a possible reason for the stupid way the �roll out� of one of HTC�s premier smart phones has been handled. I am sure there is ample blame that could directed at the US client, AT&T, but a good HTC exec or representative handles these things. How in the world would anyone find analysis directed at reducing the design capability of a device to be anything other than a marketing fiasco? This has not been a typical delay to increase the hype and success of the release of a device. It has been a royal marketing nightmare. There is no way to paint this decision in an attractive light. Why AT&T did not leave the damn cameras on the phone and provide some work-around for what they were seeking is baffling. Now all that surrounds the unit is called into question. (GPS, Touch screen) What else did they do to the new phone? This seems to be a case study in �How not to release a new phone.� I am sure AT&T needs to share some of the blame. However, there is no argument that AT&T and Apple got the Iphone release �dead center�. AT&T and Apple definitely know how to do it correctly. My thoughts are that HTC should work diligently to get the right person for the replacement of Archilles. For the US market, I can think of nothing more important at this time.
