Thx guys.

About the browsing experience, its is perfect without laggy/jerky effects. You (may) notice some lag with lots of images and if you try to scroll full speed, the first time only. But who does that while browsing ?

It renders pages almost as fast as my desktop.. :)

I am uploading a video to Youtube with some browsing testing. I'll post here once it's done.

I want one, things stopping me so far are the cost and the fact I would need to repurchase my Co-Pilot licence. All together I would be looking at around ?400, currently can get ?140 for recycling my Touch HD so it's certainly tempting.

I see me!

I want this phone so much at the moment :-/ don't know whether to just pick it up on a 24 month deal and suck up the ?450 cost over 2 years and not actually use the SIM itself.

^ yeah i know the problem there.

I've been holding myself to the end of my contract so i could get a good price for the renewing. This time i opted to pay a bit more and make a shorter contract, 12 months now (24 before).

For me the good part is that now i have 2 contracts like this, the other one belong to my wife but since she doesnt care about cellphones, each year i get me a new phone and give her my old one.

Can you run that multitouch tester and see whether it suffers from the same problem as the nexus one?

Yes, i checked that software and it reproduces the same "problem" as the video Motorola Droid vs Nexus One: Multitouch Test.

Maybe this could affect some specific application but i haven't noticed any glitch while using the multi-touch screen in normal usage.

edit here:

i did a short video with some multi-touch gestures and that software so you can see by yourself.

indeed, it's odd.

i'll post as soon as i finish the upload to YT.

Great review - thanks for sharing.

Finally got my order in for one of these after a month of being messed around by T-Mobile and then waiting on stock with Vodafone. A friend beat me to it in the mean time.. but I tried his out and just can't believe how good it is. Looks as though it's going to walk all over my iPhone in most areas (except battery life) so can't wait to get it :)

Thx....:)

Ok here it goes the video with the multi-touch run.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhBRMaUn6Ig

One thing i can assure, i haven't felt any troube while using the phone and its functions so far.....i have never realized this "glitch" with the multi-touch input till i used that app to check.

But you can see that in the multi-touch paint it gets weird, i believe if there is a game that requires multiple inputs it may cause some odd effects.

I am very satisfied with the device so far.

For the battery i can't vouch for that, still need a couple of days to get a real feedback. It seems it will need almost a week till the battery is at its full capacity.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
