Because this is a mid range phone.

One thing I'm wondering about is, if ICS is capable of having the on-screen buttons, why is HTC still using capacitive buttons? I figured part of the appeal for future ICS phones would be a nice, clean "just a screen" look.

Because including them requires a much larger screen, which is more expensive. Large, high resolution screens are also more difficult to.manufacture.

HTC IS switching to a three button arrangement, however.

Awesome phone but would of been better with:
720p screen
Software buttons
Quad-core S4 with T-mobile 84mbps
I love Sense, but should of been resembled ICS more
That's it, and hopefully it comes out in white and with beats solo

You're talking about a variant of the Edge. This is a mid-range phone. Everything that you've identified is not necessary at this price point.

I love how people think that Quad Cor ephones will suddenly become the norm. Dual Core is still reserved for high end devices & they havent even optimized the OS yet for it yet (Until 4.0).

Also, ICS is still only on the Nexus shipping, some six months after announcement. Thats a bigger issue for me.
