HTC probably makes too many models to be able to supply any in mass quantities. Palm was able to produce about 500K Pres a month and it wasn't exactly a hot phone. EVO is the first phone the media compares to iPhone yet HTC can only product 300K so far. That's not much of a supply. Sprint needs to get the Sammy Epic out ASAP.
It has nothing to do with HTC in regards to the shortages. If you google any of the current HTC phones, you will find that the issue with meeting demand is actually due to Samsung.

They are the makes of the AMOLED screen that is present in the HTC Incredible as well as the HTC Evo and there is yield issues with Samsung not being able to mass produce them quickly.

There is now talk that HTC may be switching the screens to TFT screens created by Sony to push more units out into the wild.

On a side note, hehe, there is speculation that Sammy is hoarding the screens to themselves due to the new Galaxy S phone using that screen and them making a phone flavor for every major provider.

So maybe they need to figure out a way to keep up with the demand.

And Sprint is parterning up with Samsung for the next 4G phone. It's going to be for all major carriers. Sprint version will be called Epic, while the official name is Samsung galaxy.

I agree with the poster above. Samsung is unable to provide HTC with the AMOLED screens. Maybe it's part of their plan for the galaxy.

Edit: LG also makes them but it is unable to meet the demand because of shortage on their end. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HTC-makes-lots-of-models-24508603 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:20:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HTC-makes-lots-of-models-24508478
I do agree that Sprint should have forseen this but HTC is the one causing the issue likely due to number of phone models spreading them thin.

Sprint needs multiple 4G phones ASAP and not depend on one supplier to grow 4G.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HTC-makes-lots-of-models-24508478 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:58:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HTC-makes-lots-of-models-24508376 --

BTW, Epic is the 4G version of the Galaxy. Sprint needs to get that out the door now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HTC-makes-lots-of-models-24508354 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:33:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HTC-makes-lots-of-models-24507982 said by xenophon:

HTC is a huge company. I'm surprised they are unable to meet the demand for the EVO 4. Maybe Sprint is holding out for the samsung galaxy.
