The blame is also with the customers that insist on buying Samsung (to then complain about their phones being crap) instead of giving other manufacturers a try.

The UI of HTC phones has consistently been very good (I prefer it to stock Android by a mile) and the Sony one is quite decent. It's mainly Samsung TouchWiz that sucks, and it's a pity because that's all the Android most people see.
