Ok, first off that wouldn't have been the offical video, why would they realese that? Was it a pre-release firmware by chance?
I've not had to do ANYTHING twice on my touch HD, my glofiish beforehand was a nightmare thou (but had features at the time the iPhone was seriously missing).
The responsiveness of the HD is excellent, when no apps are running, its better than the 3g iPhone, a simple operation like looking at text messages to one of my good friends (ie 300+ texts since feb) is quicker on the HD.
Now again, how could they have copied the touch interface, THEY DID IT BEFORE.
The ONLY bit that is copied by HTC is hte blatent ripoff of slide to awnser thing, but by adding the both ways for ignore or awnser it is BETTER. If your going to copy something, you have to refine it. They have done this.
This is the thing, the HD isn't designed to be the ultimate emailer, its missing the keyboard. HTC have different products, rather than been a jack of all trades.
For me, i'm either always near a proper machine if i want to write war and peace, or if its just a couple of lines, the on screen keyboard is fine.
If this changes (it looks like it might), i will go for a keyboarded phone, full qwerty slide out.
Remeber that balmer when he made those comments was spot on, they didn't have any offerings for the business.
This is the thing, i'm not deny they aren't good. Far from it. Its just i also like a stylus. Take today i was in a coffee shop remebered that i needed to email a friend some details, straight to the website, copied the text from that to the email, isn't it much easier to select text with a stylus? I sure as hell find it quicker, but i do have large hands.
Again, you are completely ignoring me, the HD has a bigger battery.
You are going on about 24 hours been good. Are you high? That is ABSOLETELY USELESS, where are in gorden brown definitions of useless.

so 5 times hte battery life..... You honestly think the iPhone is better in battery life? wow.
You know what i find strange too? 5 days to me isn't good. I want at least 2 weeks. I want to be able to go on holiday for a long weekend break, and not bring my charger.
This thread is about the touch HD, not the Pre. I could compare the touch HD to a nokia and say omgz the rendering speed is teh awsomez.
The rendering speed on the HD is actually often slower than the iPhone, it has much higher resolution, so it stands to reason that its slower.
Yes, anyone who has that phone, and thinks its any good I honestly don't think has used a proper smart phone from the last 7 years.
So lets go on to some more features where the HD whipps the arse of the iPhone. Communications.
The new HTC phones bring you this centralised people view of comm, you have all the emails, all the texts, all the appointments, all the facebook crapola, all the phone calls, all the 'notes' brought together into one place. It is really well made and well done.
Conferencing again is something that the last few days I'm finding really useful, the way the HTC works with this is just again miles ahead of hte iPhone.
The place the iPhone wins over is in games. Its hands down ahead of the WM generations.
But i hope you can see the iPhone is actually lagging far behind the innovation of people like HTC. Yes some bits have been copied, thou i think its only fair to say its the phone awnser screen, but we are not talking carbon copy hear, we are talking with their own spin and improvements.
The HD is better in terms of specification AND productivity. Its funny you are telling people to get a 3GS with out even having owned an HD or used one. (i admit, i've not used the 3gs, but I've used the 3g).
