Dear all Kaiser users,

I've also a Kaiser and I'm wondering if all complains are grounded.
I understand that some people ask for these drivers but please know that currently almost none of the current PDA's have this video acceleration.

Some people say that when scrolling through programs this is choppy. (Thats correct) but when it is a video issue it must also must be choppy at Settings -> System. And there simply it scrolls smoothly. I had this same problem when upgrading to WM6 on my Wizard.
I also, want to see good video drivers (who not) but I think that HTC or ATI or Qualcom not have stable drivers at this moment. It is also possible that 3D chip is not working (same what Intel and AMD do with budget CPU's) but that is only speculation. (I don't think this is true because HTC would say that then as excuses).

And of course of business view that will release a new phone with 3d acceleration of course. But at that time all our kaisers have also 3d acceleration :-).

I came from the Wizzard and the Kaiser is for me a big improvement. But when I was searching for a new phone I was looking at more phone's. I doubted between the Toshiba G900 and E-Ten X500+, X800. But these phone's are underperforming to the Kaiser. Especially at video speed.

This is my point of view. I don't know if there are more people sharing this or not? :)

All I want to say that a Kaiser is a great phone, but it seems to be that a matter of time it will be a monster.

Greetings from Holland.

The choppy programs scroll maybe is caused by some bad icon caching ... ie ... the system makes sd card reques every time the icon is shown. Which has nothing to do with acceleration or GDI as some adress the problem. However being a part of the shell and stored in internal memory the icons in the settings are being scrolled perfect.

And also I don't believe that Toshiba G900 is underperforming ... I don't believe that any Toshiba product can underperform :)

Wrong... This would affect Qualcomm's market value.

I agree with mkara.

I think that the video acceleration issue is over exaggerated.
I mean common, this is not a PC, neither it is a TV. It does not have a screen to watch movies or play shooters, it's a business phone.
I more often see my Kaiser completely freeze when it synchronizes via ActivSync but I haven't complains of that - people take that for granted.

Although I must admit that HTC should care more of its customers' opinion and react proactively instead of waiting for petitions and so on.

For me Kaiser has been nothing but pleasant experience (except, pehaps, the issue with GPS module I reported separetly, but I prefer to think it is less about the device and more about HTC not being able to admit its mistakes).

Regards

None? There are Dell Axim X50v/51v, G-Smart T600 w/ Intel 2700G chipset. Take a look at on at here (Chinese): http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=225&t=358344&p=1 and it's TCPMP QVGA benchmark really put Kaiser into shame.
