> The upside of HTC First: will be the first HTC device to have native Android UI - if you turn off Home. How soon we forget. HTC did make a little phone called the Nexus One. Prior to that they also made the T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream. That being said, I don't know if the HTC First will really have a native Android UI underneath. It could just as easily be "Sense themed to look AOSP" like the (US) T-Mobile G2. That probably depends on how much Facebook cares about what's underneath. Edit: Apparently HTC's OpenSense SDK includes lock screen APIs (see http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/opensense-sdk/lock-screen/lock-sample-code/ http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/opensense-sdk/lock-screen/lo... ). That seems like another argument for a Sense-derivative.
