"I'm looking to replace my convertible laptop with a Surface, and I can't assist only think that as nice equally the Pro's functionality would be, I don't demand the horsepower in my daily life and for the price divergence I could plan MCUs on a $300 Wal-mart special e-automobile with Windows viii side by side year.

What should HTC do?

Broken HTC

With the recent news of HTC continuing to drop in profits, one has to enquire if there's a stable future with Android. While the company is all the same making ends meet and is shipping enough handsets for a tidy sum left subsequently expenditure, would it be wise for HTC to start pushing Windows Telephone more than likewise? 12Danny123 asks exactly that,

"Do you retrieve that after what happened to HTC. practise you recall that they should come dorsum and focus more than on Wp8 at present. considering HTC merely can't compete with Samsung in the android infinite. though Samsung is now putting more into Wp8 as well. So what practise you guys recall?"

HTC's dwelling is Android for the foreseeable time to come, and there's no way information technology could survive with Microsoft alone, just it seems odd that the manufacturer would keep to support a platform with new handsets without promoting and supporting them like Nokia with its Lumia family of Windows Phones. Do y'all believe HTC should get into bed more than with Microsoft? Pop into the "Do y'all think that HTC should focus more on WP8 now for what happened before" thread for discussion.

Miscellaneous: Why is no 1 talking TITAN II?

The HTC TITAN Two, a Windows Telephone we rate highly for its massive screen and solid camera performance. As nosotros mentioned above, HTC hasn't been pushing its Windows Telephone line-upwards, which has led to the slow decline in sales and exposure. Forum member cp2_4eva wonders why the recently purchased TITAN Two isn't being talked virtually.

"HTC messed upward I think past non pushing this and decreasing the price point as well. This telephone may not have been as big as the Nokia Lumia, only notwithstanding probably could have pushed more numbers. Oh, and I guess the sketchy back up could be an result as well. Nokia is being really really good with the support so far. I recollect I'd still become a Nokia device once WP8 drops. That was office of my reasoning for trying the titan, because I know I'm only only going to become a WP8 device for Christmas if it's out by and so."

This sits in nicely with our question about what HTC should do in the future. Would y'all like to meet the manufacturer push harder, or do yous believe information technology'southward downward to carriers to take the smartphones and sell them? Voice your stance in the "Why aren't folks talking about the TII?" thread.
