Res and screen size is not related

As far as gaming is concerned, with the addition of Xbox Live I think MS is banking on people buying XBL arcade games for the phone. They can then control the development so that those games never need more processor than the phone has. In the same way that if you buy a console game, your xbox "should" never freeze because your 360's graphics card doesn't have enough RAM.

See thats where the problem is..the old snapdragon gpu is pretty bad...so what can happen is it will be left behind...lets put it into perceptive:
current 1ghz snapdragon: 22m/sec
800mhz 2nd gen: 40m/sec
3rd gen: 80-88m/sec
hummingbird: 90m/sec
2nd gen hummingbird: 200m/sec
Some games when played on EVO do not work as well as when played on a hummingbird..this is not a good sign for gaming as it can mean these old cpus will not work with games 1 year from now or even sooner...this happened same with the iphone 2 which had horrible hardware in comparison to say an iphone 3 and above...it got completely left out...

I know what I want in a phone, as do all of you or else you wouldn't have bought a TP2. Now that MS has moved away from an OS that can be used like a computer, there may never be any need to make the phone that we all want. Unless someone decides to make a new OS that is similiar to WinMo that is compatible with all the same functions and prgrams. Or a phone that can straight out run XP or even even Win7, hell I'd even take a phone that ran ubuntu.

You can run win95 on a TP2 lol..and ubuntu you can run on almost any phone from TP2 to a Galaxy S and beyond..

Other than the 4g, the TP2 just comes so close to being the perfect phone, I mean we were right ****ing there. I'm so glad that OC is stable now and ROMS are coming out that don't even need to be OC'd, but it would be nice to have 4G when it comes here and it would definitely be nice to have FULL internet. Not a huge deal because I can tether to my 13 inch Dell, but how long before we can't do that anymore? Just being able to tether for the couple of hours a month that I use on my plan without paying a crap ton extra is invaluable.

Its fine in terms of form factor but even overclocked the CPU is too old..and lack of drivers to use the imageon chip makes it worse..I mean least HTC could have done was include the drivers...

I completely understand why people have moved away from the TP2 in favor of something like the epic, it's a good phone, works out of the box and has basically full internet, good camera, etc. As nice as it would be to have that stuff, as a whole I (and other people on here) see it as a downgrade.

Why would it be a downgrade again?
