Kinda , its a matter of a license fee. Qualcomm made a CPU with a all in one solution. CPU, GPU, GPS, FM Radio,BT, and so on. When HTC decided to put the 7200 CPU they were able to make a whole line of ppc with different specs without changing the architecture of the motherboard and sell them at different price points depending on whats enabled and disabled. One of the critical elements were left disabled on all the 7200A cpu on all PPC's exept on the G1. that critical element was the accelarrated d3d drivers. Qualcomm felt that it was not necessary since the ppc runs fine without them and HTC saved a boatload of money. The g1 was a different story, it has the same cpu but Google paid for the drivers and thats why its sooo much smoother than our own ppc. So who do you blame? Qualcomn, HTC, Sprint, Microsoft or the consumer? Well its a bit all all of the above, Qualcomn for creating a all in one solution cpu with the ability to enable and disable off abilities and charging top dollars for the sugar. Htc for being cheap and not paying for the critical d3d drivers that would make this ppc sooo much better. Sprint for not Paying for what HTC should have paid and sell a PPC worthy in calling it a flagship phone. Microsoft for not paying the fee for the d3d drivers so wm 6.1 could run smoother.And finally us the consumer for buying yet another PPC with missing d3d drivers for the 4th time. Mogul, Touch, Diamond and currently the Pro. And even after knowing that the PPC has the same issue with the new handset we still go out a buy it. Now, with the upcoming Diamond2 and Pro 2...... they both also run on this same 7200A CPU but with a bigger screen. Guess whats going to happen? We will all run out a buy it like suckers and complain about it how terrible slow and unsmooth the scroll is. But Qualcomn, HTC,Sprint and Microsoft will just smile and get thier pockets full of more money and point fingers at each other. If we all would have stopped buying HTC ppc's after we got suckered into the Mogul away from our 6700 then we would have had a properly working Diamond and pro right now with smooth and better than the iphone experience. But noooooooo, instead they are shoveling yet another crappy PPC down out throat (diamond2 & Pro2). I miss my 6700. I vowed not to buy another htc PPC with missing d3d drivers until either Snapdragon is out of another manufacture comes out with a better ppc with proper drivers. So, please evryone.... dont buy the PRO2 or Diamond2. If those sell.. then we will be screwed again on the Pro3 and diamond3.
