Cons

No backlight for onscreen soft buttons, some instances of screen unresponsiveness, loudspeaker could have been better, no Gorilla Glass
Lacklustre video player; Limited viewing angles.
Speakers are too soft, power button placement requires some getting used to; the weight may be too heavy for some; 8GB microSD card bundled might not be enough storage.
Disappointing Video Playback, Average Bundled Headphones, Camera Shoots Oversaturated Photos Outdoors
No pouch or case included; Speaker is okay but still not as good as I believe it could be
Could be bulky for some, Viewing angles could be better, Battery life could be longer
A bit heavy, Camera is just ok
No metal unibody, only 1GB internal storage, perhaps too large for some people
The smartphone doesn't offer much internal memory, and the phone's speakers are pretty weak.
Some antenna issues may exist, Camcorder footage looks shaky.
Mediocre camera, HTCSense.com backup service still doesn’t work, very little change in Sense 3.0 bar aesthetic upgrades, 3D effects are love-or-hate Look and Feel...
Display isn't as Super as on Galaxy S II, Sense 3.0 changes are mostly cosmetic, Locked bootloader
