. This HTC warning was different. There has been a stream of them since last November, but the latest one broke the back of Wall Street's strongest HTC bulls, who finally gave up their Buy ratings. The reason is simple: HTC (2498) had just rolled out its big new product range that was supposed to go head to head with Samsung's (005930) Galaxy and Apple's (AAPL) iPhone ranges. Major flagship phones rarely flop badly - but if they do, the worst-case scenario is debuting a new line in the spring and then facing a grim slog to a fallow Christmas season.
HTC is probably the least diversified phone vendor outside Apple.
