Love the quicksand but....

The best and simplest solution would be for HTC to simply use a slightly stronger spring in the kickstand so that it would fully support the phone in 'upside-down' landscape mode.

Even with the current weak spring, with the charging cable plugged into the top of the phone, it adds just enough extra support to allow the kickstand to support the phone in this manner.

In other words, plug in your stock charging cable, open the kickstand, place the phone in 'upside down' landscape position with the kickstand flush against a table. In this manner, you can charge the battery while you watch 2-hour long videos, without the multimedia dock. Problem solved.

The only thing they did right to corect it though might be they made the charge plug on a 90 degree angle! also anyone else notice when you charge using that plug, plugged into the wall socket thing that is a USB type connection, you look at charging into it says method of charge USB, like it thinks plugged into the computer, and takes like 4 hours more than if i plug my Blackberry wall charger in, then it says AC charge? now that brings a question, will charging with a plug that is of same fit but goes directly to wall hurt?

I hope not!
