Bitt, what Google has said is that they know there are still problems (the reply is in the middle of giant mess of problem reports) but that they are not going to work any further on remedying the situation. They attempted a fix that doesn't seem to have worked for a large number of people globally on many different networks. Maybe HTC needs to step in here to work on the issue from their end. After all it's their phone. This is no more a Google phone than any other HTC handset, is it? Is it not HTC that controls the baseband code?

Google's comment is the equivalent of "3G problems? Too bad, buy a different handset."

What Apple did was fix the problem and then tell people it was fixed. Then people tested and continued using the problem and verified it was fixed.

Anyway, this is a Google thread and a Google/HTC issue. Not at all comparable to any existing or previous Apple issue I'm afraid. Not that I mentioned the news to try and make any comparison to Apple in the first place.
