HTC US Smartphone Web-Store Only Provides Locked Phones. What's Up With That?

I don’t get the HTC smartphone web store.

It only provides the ability to buy locked phones (phones tied to s specific carrier) that are already available in carrier stores (physical and web). You won’t find the HTC Nexus One (which is somewhat understandable since Google wants to control that phone) or an unlocked HD2 (although the locked T-Mobile model is listed with an annoying “Click to See Price” link).

By the way, try selecting the “Shop by Feature” drop-down menu option near the top of the page.
