More than I have experienced under similar circumstances in the past when a product didn't meet my expectation, and was a lot more expensive!

For the price Basic4ppc is a try and throw away product compared to Visual Studio. If you had bought Visual Studio (I have!) to develop a .NET GPS app. for HTC and found the problem then Microsoft wouldn't refund but would merely tell you it is an HTC problem. If Microsoft don't tell you that their SerialPort class (which is what the Serial2 library exposes) doesn't work with HTC devices why should you expect Erel to.
