I have nothing against HTC, in fact today i told a new employee that we are getting her a company phone and I recommended the Tilt. So I'm not a complete fanboy. and Jeff B.

But come on the country's official name is the Republic of China and the majority of the people speak Mandarin. All this because of a "silly chinese" comment, nice. I still think though that if you call your own country China then its no disrespect to them to call them Chinese. But seriously i wasn't insulting Taiwanese or HTC all i said was silly Chinese about the sharp corners on the device. I guess everyone had to get their politicly correct comment in there. scoop, yes i did know about the japanese occupation and that most the people are a mix of malay/chinese.

I would think they would make GSM versions instaed? I hope the GSM versions are announced at the same time, and are available sooner.

Seriously, have spent significant time in Taiwan or ever studied the history and culture of the island? Can you speak Taiwanese? If not, please reconsider your position and authority on this topic. Now, then back to the phone.....I am very curious about the thickness of this device. All the pictures I've seen thus far are pretty-much head-on plan-view type. It looks to have a large footprint though, so it better be thin. And 5-band HSUPA would be great. :) DTest: speaking of a history lesson — I am sure you already know that Taiwan was occupied by and under Japanese control from 1895 to 1945, right?

Taiwan was once part of China but not now. Just as the US was part of the UK but is not now. Try calling a "true" Taiwanese person Chinese and see the response you get. Trust me, they don't call themselves Chinese, just as the Brit's here didn't call themselves English when they declared independence. There is a political party there that wants to rejoin China but they are extremists and don't hold that much power. It ain't gonna happen. @Dtest5477

Its people are Chinese and they have a struggle within the country of whether they will rejoin China. Look these things up before going out on the limb. Its where the democratic chinese fleed to when the communists took over the mainland. but thank again for another history lesson. Jeff, look up Taiwan and tell me that it was not part of China?

I'm sure they will have at least some exlusivity for a bit like they did with the Touch. However, I hope they market these devices properly during said exlusivity unlike what they did with the Touch (a COMPLETE LACK of marketing). I swear, every time I use my Touch, I get "That thing is really cool...what the hell is it?". @Mighty G8r
