Poll: Is sound on the tp2 pivotal

---

This is by no means to insinuate that I am ungrateful to those working so hard on Android on the TP2. But here is the question that I have.

If sound is not working on the TP2 within a relatively short amount of time given the lifespan of phones and attention span of users will it really matter if the UI is not choppy or the battery charge indicator is working perfectly?

Will you adopt android as your chief OS if develoment stops without sound working?

For me, ringtones and music aren't critical, I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time. GPS is more critical. So I guess that would be a "No" in this poll.

Sound is not critical, even on WinMo I rarely use it.

The biggest issue for me currently is the very low in-call speaker volume. After that, speakerphone functionality, then power managment and charging.

Working hardware 3d acceleration would be a big plus as web browsing can be quite sluggish on Android.

If and when these issues are solved, I would be happy to use Android full time on my Rhodium. Though I am still perfectly content with WinMo, it's just nice to have options.

GPS is the feature that I miss the most.

+1 on the in-call spkr. Vol.- I wouldn't mind only bein able to use the spkrphone, as long as it was loud enough to hear
Wep wifi would be awfully nice for me too
But sound does rank right up there.

Sound is a big deal to me as I use it all of the time. Visual Voice Mail is the the killer app and I have figured out how to load and activate it in android but obviously cannot hear it, so its useless.

Plus a ringtone is a nice thing for a phone to have.

It would be nice since it would allow my friend to hear the one Google Voice voicemail that he's been bugging me about for so long to hear. Not that it matters. I would rather use WM for listening to music anyways. Maybe once the Android builds are faster I might consider it.

Sound would be really nice to have, especially since I recently found a tone dialer/red box/blue box app to play with, but it's not completely necessary for me to use the OS. The biggest issues for me are the overall UI lag and short battery life. From what I understand from reading the IRC logs, the developers may know why the sound isn't working now, but it probably won't be a simple fix. Also, AFAIK many of the developers are busy with their lives right now, so now likely isn't the time we're going to be getting sound. I can wait, though.

For me - Sound is not important at all. I would like to have GPS first, HW3d, Camera then sound.

I suggest that instead of polling on sound only, maybe we should pull on the order, or the feature people wanted the most...
