I know people are talking about this in the Quadrant scores topic, but I feel this is an issue big enough to have its own topic.
DJTaurus posted this video from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xClO6d-S86w , briefly showing the browser at the 12:30 second mark , and watch how not only does the Nexus One load the page just as fast, but the lag on the scrolling on the Nexus S is TERRIBLE! The Nexus One scrolling is choppy with the flash on, but not nearly as bad as the Nexus S.
This is huge to me, I was really looking for a drastic improvement in the browser and flash content from the Nexus One. If this is really how bad it is, or even if it's the same as the Nexus One, that's a huge dealbreaker for me.
That is very alarming.

something with the flash content was screwing up the browser becuase you can easily see that the flash content is jumping all over the page.
Just another reason why i don't keep flash on unless i need it.
I don't think thats anything to do with the browser though, most likely an issue with flash and 2.3. Also one video, on one site is no reason to get too upset. there may be some settings in the browser that need to be changed or something. we simply have no idea why the lag is there but i seriously doubt it's hardware related.
Turn flash off. Uninstall it. Life is so much better.
Doesn't lag that bad on my Galaxy S with flash enabled and the newest JPU fw. :/
One major reason of the lag is the lack of Hardware Acceleration by default in the Android Browser.
Apparently this will be solved with Honeycomb.

Propably cause in phonedogs review the scrolling experience was smooth and fast.....
Watch from 1.30 sec

I loaded the site on my Vibrant and it was fine... just like any other website, not even as heavy as Engadget. I didn't see any flash content on the site (because I use AdFree) so the lag is purely from the flash-based ads... which are usually crappy and slow anyway. One of the ads must have been buggy, but the Nexus handled it fine so I dunno =(
It's AOSP. We'll figure it out

yup just as i said, Phonedog site, and just as smooth, if not smoother than 2.2/N1.
SO something screwed up in the OP's video. no idea what, but something.
Maybe he needs to reinstall flash. I watched few reviews for the phone, and non had problems with loading flash sites.
The site loads fine and scrolling is very smooth on my Gingerbread Nexus One.

EDIT: ROFLMAO
Did you even test this? Once you start driving everything is extremely dark and a lot of things aren't working properly. I am on EvolutionX Froyo(yours), so that might play a role. I just think it's doing this because it's using some fancy smancy stuff that the Snapdragon gpu doesn't support. But the fps is alright, it runs about as well as an iphone 3g/3gs.

YES it most deff. was supposed to come out with the release of the Evo as reported by both EA and Sprint. I even emailed EAMobile and have yet to receive any response.....
even better we get to hear the DroidX rep say it was going to be only on the DroidX for 30-60 days now in one of those videos released at its launch.
Well i didnt test. Its made for powervgx gpu not adreno. Thats prolly why its black. This was pulled from galaxy s. Soo thanks for testing haha
adreno sucks i bet iphone 2g got better graphics.at least DROID'S gpu would've been great for the EVO.
Game looks like the Epic 4g, Buggy POS LOL Just get Asphalt 5, the new update seems to have fixed the lag, and graphics just as good or better than NFS Shift.
Thanks for posting this.
Just tested this on a Samsung Galaxy S and i plays perfectly well and smooth.
No problems with the graphics.
There should be one that works on the snapdragon:

The reviews are basically going to say what's been echoed throughout the boards: The pros, more or less, being that the device will be fast and will run the latest/cleanest Android build directly from Google. The cons, more or less, will be about everything everyone's complaining about (lack of HSPA+, expandable slot, and some other downgrades).

There's another software overview here of 2.3 from IntoMobile.
I can't help but notice the major scrolling lag at 2:58 onwards when he enables the Maps live wallpaper. Really disappointing to see the performance issues still not resolved. I guess we keep on waiting for proper GPU acceleration to fix that?

All the reviews are essentially saying the same thing. The pros being more or less the Google experience, untouched and unaltered; super fast; and direct Google updates. The cons being what every one has/is complaining about: lack of HSPA+ support, not a huge improvement giving the context of near-future devices, NFC has potential but nothing major for the moment, lack of expandable SD slot, lack of HD recording, etc.
There are no more surprises. People are getting this phone primarily for Gingerbread and future direct/clean updates, but not much else.

You may notice the curve on the NS.
MT4 looks thinner.
I got a good screen on MT4, and it doesn't have color fading or washout problem.
For fair comparison, I use same wallpaper. NS is surely a winner on this part
NS is clearly a winner on this.
Somehow I got red tint on the picture, but it actually didn't show such tint.
the MT's browser is much smoother than the N1

Do you mean the NS...?
I think both are barely the same when opening up xda.
I will upload a video to youtube to show the loading time.
Conditions:
both run on Skyfire and reloaded a few times on both.
both run on 3G and assumed both have similar reception.

I had a rooted iphone running on t-mobile for a while, so today I went and opened a att account to try the iphone 4 for a few days. I did this because I was so disapointed in the browsing experience on the nexus s. The iphone will be going back but I am really pondering getting the mt4g which I owned for a few days before returning it because of bluetooth issues and the inability to send my contacts list to my car nav. I love the ns screen and styling but think I may go back to the mt4g since I will end up running a custom rom on whatever i choose.
Gosh that curved screen looks so sexy next to a normal flat phone.

I'm guessing he is talking about the s-pen test that is one of many options when that digit string is entered in the dialer. Zig zag attached.
I am talking about touch screen test not the spen one, sorry I didn't make it clear
If I'm thinking right, you're referencing to how our note's seem to have an issue with super fast swipes on the screen? I've noticed this issue when playing Fruit Ninja, especially with the final fruit in arcade mode which you can repeatedly slash to boost your score. On my Galaxy Nexus I can swipe back and forth all day really really fast with no issues. It seems to not fully detect on the Note and you'll get broken trails. When I used imilka's CM9 this problem seemed to be resolved or at least the touch response seemed much better over stock. Also when I used the CM9 build it seemed as if banding and the video pixelation/distortion issues where a lot less. The new official CM9 builds may be even better since they have their own kernel built for them
there ... no problem... and i also have no fruit ninja problem.... seems you may have a defective unit... i would have it checked out...
now could you please only post once about a problem and not open another thread with a different title but its about the same thing you asked in the other...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626810
you can edit posts and even the title if you are the creator... it helps not clog up the forum ... plus it helps keep some of the crankier members from totally ripping into you...

They are giving us the new Touchwiz icons that look like they are the result of Touchwiz being raped and getting a back alley abortion. Nooooooooooo. I hope they at least include themes so that we can hide that mess. Then again, by the time this is actually released by Verizon, I assume a lot of us will have already moved on to non Samsung phones.
I think the biggest UI upgrade I can recall occuring on a Samsung device was maybe when the OG Note got Jellybean and looked fairly similar to the Note II and picked up some new features. Otherwise, Samsung has traditionally let as little as possible trickle down from their latest flagships to "last year's" model when doing updates---look at the Note 4 or the Note 3 Lollipop situation , for example. Neither phone was as smooth or as refined under Lollipop as it was under KitKat (I do not recall if the Note 3 was better under JB or KK). I certainly do not expect things like theme support or manual camera modes to ever trickle down to the Note 4. I'll just be glad to get its RF and battery performance back to where it was with KitKat.
I highly, highly doubt we ever see this.

His demo phone seems to be very laggy as hell with MM 6.0. Hopefully by the time we getting this it should be better.
It looks like it has a few things I might like. But the icons, dear lord are they bad. Way to iPhoneish for my liking.
The settings menu looks decent to me though.

Exactly why I hope they throw in themes. I hope somebody asks on the youtube page. He's been answering questions. (I tried to ask, but youtube won't let me sign in since I deleted G+ and my YT channel.)
