After extensive testing, we’ve determined that the current version of HTC Sense with Android provides customers with the best experience on the HTC Desire HD. When we consider new versions of software, we weigh a number of factors, but ultimately the customer experience on the product is the deciding factor. We apologize for any confusion this change may have caused our customers.

The HTC One V has AndroidOS v4.0 and HTC Sense v4.0? The HTC Incredible S upgradable to ICS and Sense v4.0? Hey, the HTC One V is weaker than the HTC Desire HD! The HTC Incredible S is contains same hardware with HTC Desire HD!

Dear HTC, would you point row(s) in the table, what feature necessary to ICS? The user experience is the "ultimate" decide factor only the HTC Desire HD? What about the user experience on One V or Incredible S?

So again: screw you, HTC.
