Too many phone manufacturers put out their phones and put little to no work into them (I'm looking at you HTC). The one thing I didn't realize when switching from webOS was how little work and updates some of these phone makers put into their phones.

(I know it isn't a fair comparison to cross operating systems, and I don't mean it in that way)
It isn't just HTC. Motorola is even worse. They seem to be averaging a new phone now every other month. Each being almost the same thing as the other.

Since September Motorola has released the Bionic, RAZR, RAZR Maxx, and now there is the rumor of their "developer" version of the Maxx coming out.

The alliance never really existed in my opinion. It was a sham!
