Graphics Performance issues?

[aceracer24]

Oh brother...is this going to turn into another HTC lawsuit that won't go any where but will have a huge cult following with gobs of people swearing to never buy another HTC phone again until the next HTC phone comes around??

If I want video, I buy a video player. If I want games, I buy a PSP. What I have is a phone...a phone lol. It does movies ok and does some games ok. I am rather happy.

Well that's not entirely true. It's a WM device first and foremost. We don't deal with all the quirks of WM because we want a phone ... we want a multifunction device capable of a lot of things.

We also deal with WM because it's highly customizable. I agree to an extent that we all want a multifunctional device capable of many things...but in reality, there are very few things in life that are great at everything. It just doesn't happen. If you want true video capability, you don't go and buy a WM phone...you buy a dedicated video player. Same for playing games.

Of note, since we did already go through this with the Touch, why would anyone buy another HTC phone without verifying the capabilites first? It's like we don't learn from our mistakes...we need that cheese!!

There have been WM devices YEARS ago that blew the TP away in graphics performance, so the cake can be had and eaten too ... The current level of graphics performance represents a regression.

That is true... Look at the video's in this post... It shows the TP getting beat by phones from 2004...

I don't disagree with this. However, speaking for myself, I already knew what I was buying when I bought the TP. As did most of you I am sure. To complain about this makes no sense when you paid HTC for the phone already knowing that the performance wasn't on par. You have 30 days with Sprint to test the phone and return it if you don't like it.

I personally am not complaining, nor is this poll/thread meant for that.

I know and I am not directing it at anyone specific.

Actually it DOES make sense to complain to HTC when you have bought the phone. That's one of our rights and responsibilities as consumers/customers.
