Flaky drivers, or a total lack of them for certain functions, leads to degraded performances and battery life.
HTC being one of the major players to have boarded the Android ship (with best-buddy Qualcomm) it seems that their development ressources are stretching thin between the "past" (WM6) and the future (Android).
The speculations are going wild but XDA developpers' forum dwellers are now trying to get HTC's attention back to support their expensive gadgets."
