If you're thinking of buying an HTC phone, you might want to think again.

It's a dog-eat-dog market unfortunately and there are some big dogs out there. I can't say I have been drawn to purchasing any HTC as they don't really appeal but we need them out there in the market to help push down prices.

If Sammy goes bust there will be a lot more manufacturers panicking well before then!
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I am no markets expert but even I can see that is a pretty bad position for a company to be in!
