HTC is done with the hardware QWERTY phones
The HTC design team shed some light on the company’s future plans during an event in Seattle. Unfortunately the news is not good for the texting addicts – HTC is done with the hardware QWERTYs for good.
Even though HTC has created some of the best QWERTY smartphones through the years, nowadays those gadgets are almost extinct. It seems HTC isn’t happy with their market performance, so it has decided to drop them from its plans.

So comes the end of the QWERTY era for HTC. A sad day or good riddance?
