I tested the video performance, and compared it with my three handhelds (HTC Touch Pro, HTC Universal and Samsung Omnia.)
Test performed on a 3 min music video (480x640, 25 fps, 44100 Hz, 574 kbit/s), with coreplayer 1.2.5, and optimal settings for each device:
Omnia:
Raw framebuffer: 442.74%
Universal:
Direct Draw: 165.28%
Touch Pro:
QTv display: 152.44%
Smooth Zoom and Dither turned off on each device!
So in conclusion, Omnia wins by a huge 277.46% over the next best device that is the Universal. And even then the Universal is 12.84% better then the Touch Pro!
Please bare in mind that the Universal is a three years old device with only 64MB ram, while Touch pro is brand new and 288MB ram! They have same clock speed but Touch pro is supposed to have a better/newer chipset then the Universal!
There is no doubt in my mind anymore, Touch pro is missing the video drivers, or could it just be that qualcomm chipset just sucks?
Why am I posting this here? Well, becouse I was considering buying the HD, but sense it has the same specs as the Touch Pro and even bigger resolution screen, I just dont know! I fear that it is going to be as crappy in performance as the TP, if not even worse?
Please help me out here guys!
Touch Pro ?
Coreplayer does not yet have hardware support for the QTV chipset in HTC Touch HD. It will get soon however according to this thread and then the performance will improve a lot.

Also the built-in Windows Media Player uses hardware acceleration. It is a bit limited in the codecs it support however.

I currently have, an omnia, an iPhone, a TyTN II, & 3x Touch HD's( long story) but I find video playback on just looks alone the iphone looks the best ( bear in mind you have to convert video for the iphone though as in it can't play your standard xvid files). Touch HD would be my overall winner because on looks alone it is very close to the iphone but it plays files converted for the iphone as well as xvid & divx movies. Depending on the movie I have noticed some caching but if you follow the sticky you can clear this up. The Omnia follows but imho the video quality is not as good as the HD, not to mention I had quite a few problems with mines with a total of 8x replacements not to mention the weekly rom updates thanks to secany, but overall the HD is the best phone I've had so far.

Hello
Which phone are better? the omnia hd or the htc hd, which has the best screen of these two

These are 2 different phones with also a different O.S. installed. The omnia HD has Simbian instead Touch HD Win Mobile. However as regards the screen, the Omnia has a lower resolution than the Touch hd (640x360 vs 800x480) but the former has an Oled screen (which is a little more luminous and with more vivid colors) instead the latter has a classical TFT.
In my opinion the touch HD is still (and for a while) unbeatable.
Really the best phone I've ever had!!!
too cool, versatile and professional!!
HTC just announced the Desire Z version of their "Vision" handset that is identical to the G2. It runs a newer version of HTC Sense that's got a lot of nice new enhancements. I expect G2 owners will want to port this in a hurry.
Desire Z will be available in October in Europe and Asia only.

Anyone can clear this up?
About the second video by briefmobile. Did I get it right? The new Sense is only for the HD?
I can't see amount of RAM in specs - does anybody know how much of memory will be installed in this phone?
New version of sense seems to be also on Desire Z (see the right button)

Why not 768MB like HD?

Probably just to differentiate from the HD and help justify charging more for the HD. Does it really matter though ?

No and No - it's not possible, due to incompatible hardware.
Can you give more detail about the incompatible hardware ?
