HTC takes home gold thrice at T3 Gadget Awards, including ‘Phone of the Year,’ ‘Gadget of the Year’

I believe I owe HTC an apology. Just last night, I bashed the company (again) for its miserable sales, citing a recent Bloomberg report showing that they were following the path of the doomed Blackberry.
Last night HTC took the throne from Samsung, winning ‘Phone of the Year’ for the HTC One at the T3 Gadget Awards, an award that Samsung had won for their  Galaxy S line for consecutive years.
Editor-in-chief of T3, Kieran Alger, said, “It’s been a brilliant night for HTC and the HTC One is deserving winner of three of the biggest awards.”
The HTC One also took home the ‘Gadget of the Year’ award as well as the T3 Design Award.
This may temporarily boost sales and give them a positive image, but I still have a hard time believing that a few T3 Gadget Awards will really change the direction of this company.
