All time, I like HTC because this brand gives us opportunity to hack its program. If you really want an Android phone for experimenting with Android system development and re-flashing custom ROMs, then buy HTC.
Google and Sprint handed out 5,000 HTC EVO 4Gs at Google I/O and it only took a few hours effort for developers to gain root access to the device. The three person team of Matt Mastracci, ozzeh, and Joshua Wise have released a few screens and videos of their hack, but have yet to detail the process.
Anyway, this hack is mentionable because the EVO does not go on sale till June 4th. The device will ship with Android 2.1, but at this rate I would not be surprised if the development community back-ports Android 2.2 months before HTC sends out their official release. As the source code of Android 2.2 is not released, so we have to wait few weeks, but be smart to search out for an upcoming release.
