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.

Well... In that case...

As I can tell from the Poll results, people generally believe there is an issue with the Graphics Performance...

Thank you all who voted..

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.

You open your keyboard and it breaks, or your screen cracks for no reason...those are issues that are well within your right to complain about. Those things are not supposed to happen.

Now on the flip side, your video doesn't play like a dedicated video player or you can't play Doom the way the iphony or what ever does is not HTC's fault. It's the consumers fault because the consumer keeps buying these phones and telling HTC "great job! Can't wait for your next fabulous phone!"

As has already been stated, the best way to get HTC's attention is to NOT buy the phone. You already knew the performance wasn't up to your standards so why did you buy the phone?

This reminds me of what happened last night with my daughter. She wanted to go to a friends b-day party so we let her. She gets home about 8pm and starts crying because she is "over whelmed" with homework and doesn't know how she will ever get it done. Why then did she go to the party?

If you want a Porche, buy a Porche, if you want a Pinto, buy a Pinto but don't buy a Pinto and expect it to drive like a Porche.
