Jade (Touch 3G) faster than the iPhone?

Running the sames tasks from the iPhone 3G commercial is faster on real-life Jade (Touch 3G) than on real-life iPhone:
http://vlad.bailescu.ro/gadgets/2008/11/30/htc-touch-3g-review/

I have no clue what this video is supposed to show...
The video is comparing two youtube videos...hooray.

The video on the left compares iPhone 3G performance in commercial and real life while doing some simple tasks: open NYTimes, open GMaps and zoom to current position, open an email attachment, receive a call. The one on the right shows the Touch 3G doing the exact same things. And it's faster than real-life iPhone 3G.

Available for pre-order on Verizon now and has all the specs including FM Tuner

I can't link to it because I am new, but if you search on verizonwireless.com you can find it.
Pre-orders placed online before 4pm local time on 4/28 will be delivered 4/29.

Thanks. It would have been perfect if it was not for its missing camera. Any other watch with a camera?

Zgpax S99 does come with a camera, but so far people have reported about bey bad quality control issue on that watch.

Don't have a watch yet, seems like nobody does. But bigger 1.39" AMOLED screen (others are 1.33" IPS I guess) and camera does the trick for me. Those apps you mentioned: Instagram, snapchat... should definitely work. Only thing that disappointed is that they dropped the SD/TF card slot which was there in initial spec. But overall pretty nice:

___________________________________________________________________________________________
There isn't any more software/hardware information anywhere else with a few minutes searching. Notice the RAM/ROM. I was expecting it to be bad but not that bad for a 2014/15 device. With all the disappointment out of the way. I want to make this baby purr. I'd like to know what kind of Generic Android Wear firmware I could push in there that could improve this device. I do understand it has hardware limitations so I'm not asking much. Just a small chat about what could be done here.

I boogered mine up trying to dump a firmware for a GT88 into it.. I failed to backup the exsisting installed data.. UGH!!
Does anyone have a ROM pack that can be used to repair the boo-boo I caused with FlashTool?
I've been all over the web and I cant find any firmware for this unit. at all.
Attempts to use alternate firmware have been close but not functional. (from sounds without display all the way up to booting with display but no touch screen input)
Any help is appreciated.

Problem with reset watch.
It wont start by pressing power button.
Only logo flashes and after it nothing happen. Wt tp do.
How to reset

Gonoise smartwatch by loop
Have recently purchased it. But in 2 days it showed starting probem. It just flashes the logo and then turns of. If anyone has a sloution please tell me. I tried to contact with the coustumercare of loop but seems like they have posted a non functional number.

Go noise is a ****ty company. They have the worst after sale service. I have a tubo black and it restarts, shuts off, has button problem, and they are saying to send it to Noida from Kolkata? In what belief I would send the watch?
