The application of course does not allow drawing in the last 1/16".
Same test on my 6700, the line actually does stop a lot closer to 1/2" away because of the raised border of the screen. I think you are babying it if you get it closer because the thumb simply cannot approach that closely to the edge of the screen of a recessed-screen device.

Obviously, with a trim around the screen you cannot do this. I am holding my Touch in my hand right now, and simply gliding my thumb, with normal touch-flow pressure, from the middle, to the side of the phone, the line is drawn all the way to the side. I am holding my thumb completely flat--as if I am using S2U2. That's how the screen SHOULD work, but again, HTC screwed up on that. I wouldn't care so much, if the on-screen keyboard wasn't rendered useless by this.

The closest NON-HTC phone that I found so far is the LG Incite which runs the MSM7200 Chipset (same as used on the GSM TP and Diamond) I have not been able to find ANY reported issues with heat and Battery life! In addition, here is what several reviews have said:

and
http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews...cite/9946.html
LG also uses the MSM7500 Chipset on many of their VCAST flip phones for Verizon. Unfortunatly they don't publicize the clock frequencies, BUT I did not see any reported heating Issues, AND they have 3-4 day battery lives.
Now, IF LG can get the performance listed out of their implementation, why cant HTC? Overall I have been very pleased with the Touch Pro, However, I (as many other here) would just like to see the heat and power issues resolved. I would like to get more than 8 hours out of a charge, If LG can do it SURELY an industry leader like HTC can. |
Also, the Xperia X1 is known to last several days on a single charge as well... with tons of 3G data usage, some WIFI, and a few hours of phone calls.
Someone show me a Pro that does that... HTC needs to fix this.
