People realize its not just CIQ, the carriers has lots of power and they are very responsible for this. CarrierIQ is just taking the fall for them, and they'll continue to spy on you afterward as usual. If you don't want carrierIQ, buy international phones since carrierIQ seems to be for American released phones only. This is the reason why America always seems to get some really good phones months after its been released internationally. Personally I feel HTC have tons and tons of data mining in itself even without CIQ, just too many things running in the background of the HTC phones I tried. Also please do not forget, Android phones uses an operating system developed by Google. Also if you are willing to mess with your phone, you can root, install cwm to install a custom rom that is carrierIQ free: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192661 Until vast amount of consumers becomes outraged and stop buying their phones and plans, then they won't change their ways. But this trend isn't even going to stop.
