My point to you was that FB is not integral to the phone. Many people after they have rooted, delete it, peep, and friendstream all together.
I know the phone asks you if you want to set up an account when you first activate it but so what...it also asks if you want to set up an exchange account too and lots of other things.
The only thing FB is integral too is Mr. Zuckerberg's wallet.
The Inc has been and continues to be an outstanding platform for many users and was one of the most sought after phones Verizon had to offer for quite a while, hence the "Great Inc Shortage of 2010." Has it been perfect for everyone, of course not, but nothing is.
Like I said earlier, I'm not all down of you dumping HTC, I could care less if you don't buy another HTC, I don't work for them or even own stock.
