What will their phone names be like in a few years? The One XXVC+- Type R? Too much to remember for a customer.

I can't blame a marketing guru for this stupid decision because being utterly clueless seems to be a hallmark of a successful marketing executive, but somewhere in that chain of command in HTC there ought to have been someone WITH A CLUE who would have noticed that this completely violates decades of precedence established for the naming of technological devices.

I hope this hurts HTC's sales of this device substantially. I am so sick of stupidity like this in the world. I think this is even worse than GM's decision to sell the Chevy Nova in spanish-speaking countries ("Nova" sounds like "No va" in espanol which means "it does not go") It's not as funny as GM's bad decision, but I thin...
