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.

    • Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
