just another prime example of planned obselecense......well just send it back to china/inda (burn some more resources),have them recycle the materials (dangerous, and some more resources), get them to use materials to make new phone (more resources), package it (more resources), and ship it back here (using some more resources). Seeing is that it will probably only last a couple of years, this cycle occurs very fast. The environmental impact is disgusting (as is the case with most electronics) ......not an htc problem tho
