This isn't a problem on the TG01 - see my benchmarks at http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/f349...ons-92599.html . BTW, the HTC Touch HD also has amessed-up driver - for example, it produced 48% (!!!) in my H.264 test - while the TG01 produced three times more, 148%.

As for games -- 99% of them does not work.
This problem is related to WVGA, not the Toshi in particular. That is, the same games don't run on the HD either.

Of course, I'm not stating the TG01 is / will be flawless. Particularly the lack of the D-pad is a real pain in the back. However, given that HTC's new devices are, in my opinion, considerably worse than the TG01 (speed / feature-wise; again, I'm not speaking of Toshi bugs / issues because I don't know whether it'll have any), the TG01 seems to be tempting.
