They do, just don't release phones in the States anymore. It's a shame because I really liked their phones.

    "In May 2019, then-United States President Donald Trump announced that HUAWEI and several other Chinese companies were now on the β€œEntity List.” Companies on this list cannot do business with any organization that operates in the United States."

    Oh good golly it's going to be a wonderful day today!

    Edit: as ahornsirup pointed out, this isn't really relevant. I got crossed up searching HTC with Huawei somewhere along the line.

    Haven't seen them here in Europe in over a decade I think.

    All the recent Nokia's were theirs, so probably more recent than you think. But yeh, nothing since then I think?

    Or am I getting my 3 letter company names mixed up?

    They were the beginning of a Dream that turned into a nightmare (first for HTC, then for consumers).

    Fuck, remember when Android was genuinely open source and we had a little computer with mobile internet that fit in our pockets that we could install our own open source OS ROMs on? What an incredible time to be alive that was.
