HTC fires back at Apple antenna demo with percentage pew-pew

Apple’s Friday press conference may have left a bad taste in some rival handset manufacturer’s mouths, but not all of them are taking Cupertino’s derision of their devices seriously — HTC’s Droid Eris was arguably the most effected by the grip of doom, its bars dropping to zilch when held, but the Taiwanese company keeping its full opinion to itself for now, sharing a simple percentage instead to help clear the air. Whereas Apple claimed over 0.55 percent of customers called AppleCare with reception-related complaints, HTC’s Eric Lin told Pocket-lint the Droid Eris technical support rate was 0.016 percent, nearly thirty-four times lower — though even with a seven-month head start, we have to wonder if the Eris sold close to the iPhone 4′s three million by the time Verizon brought the axe down.

HTC EVO 4Gs flooding into Best Buys, some Radio Shacks opening at 6AM on Friday

EVO fever — have you caught it? Things are seriously starting to ramp up in preparation for Friday’s festivities, the day that Sprint’s EVO 4G hits shelves (though most will likely be sold before they even touch a shelf, truth be told). Radio Shack hit us up with the knowledge earlier today that it’ll be opening some locations as early as 6AM — and what’s more, they claim to have “specifically set aside” some units for folks who didn’t pre-order, so that might be your best chance. We’re also getting a bunch of shots from tipsters who say their Best Buy locations have started taking delivery of the retail units, so at least you’ll know they’ll be in stock on Friday — but for how long is another question altogether.

[Thanks to everyone who sent these in!]
