This was exactly the same experience[1] I had with HTC back when I got the first Nexus One (hardware defect). A year later I got a myTouch 4G, again rampant hardware issues with the screen.
I plan to honor my initial promise of never trying another HTcC device, but I get weak in the knees from high end tech and they seem to be leading the android race the most aggressively right now,
My knowledge might be expired, but what HTC phone currently holds the performance/tech crown? I thought Samsung's Galaxy SII is on the top now and soon to be released Google Nexus S 4G (made by Samsung, afaik). I own HTC myself currently.
The Nexus S is out already -- and its tech specs weren't nothing out of the ordinary IIRC. Plus (and this is the whole point) it's not a great phone if you don't intend to customize it. That is, unlike HTC Sense and whatever the Samsung equiv is, this is bare bare bones Android 2.3.
Honestly, the upcoming HTC Evo 3D looks smashing. At first I groaned. I mean... 3D?!?! WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!! And i still think the whole "record your own 3D HD videos" is absurd.
But the rest of the way it uses 3D, and the new HTC Sense (on top of 2.3) is just reallllly cool. And with 1.2ghz dual core, it's a beast.
Yes, that's what I meant. Bah, they start out simple, then duct tape words and it gets messy.. HTC Desire -> HTC Desire Z, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy and all of it's variations etc.

The parent said the Nexus S 4G, but I think they meant the rumored Nexus 4G (which isn't out yet). Here's some leaked specs: http://www.bgr.com/2011/06/15/exclusive-google-nexus-4g-deta...
