Bit gutted that it's only 750MB ish RAM.
So what has better benchmarks so far? Pyramid, Galaxy S2, LG 2x or EVO 3D?

[Q] what do you think about the HTC pyramid

Last time I checked the 2x scored highest. But its to early to say I think, as the other phones aren't released. Meaning they were likely tested with unfinished software.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I first tried out a 3DS last year and have since bought one, i'm one of the lucky ones that have zero problems with regards to eye strain, dizziness or headaches! I know plenty of other people who do suffer looking at 3D though, I know a couple of people who can't see 3D at all!
I wouldn't buy the Evo 3D just based on the 3D capability though as it's a pretty gimmicky function, but its just another thing the phone is capable of should I wish to use it.
The way I see it is that old comparison of two cars pulling up at traffic lights, One day if I had a Pyramid I just know that someone will pull up next to me and pull out an Evo 3D and go "Oh yeah that phone is almost the same as this one, but mine has 3D." And it'll annoy me..
I've said before I wonder if the difference will come with pricing, the Evo 3D is going to be ridiculously expensive and if the Pyramid is a fair bit cheaper i'd rather have a Pyramid and save some cash than have a 3D screen.
Guys,no one has mentioned anything about the graphics performance of the Pyramid/Evo 3D though.
Yeah,it may perform worse in benchmarks,but that is largely affected by its higher resolution.The Optimus 2X and Galaxy S2 might perform better(Not much better though) but their screens are 800x480=384000 pixels,while the Pyramid/Evo 3D has a resolution of 960x540=518400 pixels.That is 35% more pixels.To explain,benchmark side by side the X10 mini and the original Desire.They share the same Adreno 200 GPU.On nenamark,one of the most demanding graphics benchmarks IMO,the X10 mini with its 320x240 screen scores more than 40 frames per second,while the Desire with 800x480 scores only 16 frames per second.The pixel number margin may be bigger here,but you get the point.Any direct comparison with numbers therefore is highly inaccurate and doesn't proove that the Adreno 220 in Qualcomm's chip is inferion to others.

Very good point! I'm not a benchmark preacher, but that is a solid argument for the better displays.Guys,no one has mentioned anything about the graphics performance of the Pyramid/Evo 3D though.

Anandtech posted some good benchmarks on the Snapdragon thats winging its way into the Pyramid and Evo 3D (albeit at a slower clock speed):

It's certainly no slouch!

Do mind though that the MDP's screen is WVGA (480x800) compared to the qHD (540x960) in the Evo and Pyramid, and that it was constantly plugged into a special usb-power adapter so the battery would not run out.
I still want the Pyramid though!
Plus the MDP is only for testing purposes and doesn't prove anything about the final products performance,as drivers will be finished,optimised and...well,things will go out of beta!
So now that we've got some benchmarks and a bit more solid info how does everyone think this is going to stand up against the Galaxy S2 (Tegra2 & Exynos)?
With HTC's announcement that they're going to start making rooting harder, which will end up with the bigger community?

benchmarks arent always everything! you cannot notice a significant speed differences just by using the device. by haveing these benchmarks it makes you feel your device is faster - its all in your mind!!!!!
Not when you want to play some games on the N64 emulator or PSX emulator.
I want to be able to output 1080p quality video straight to TV, I want emulators to run like the original console, I want everything to be fast, fast, fast!
Graphic benchmarks do count for something.
That proves any benchmark that showed the Pyramid as being slow is likely due to the typical thing that slows down any HTC Device, HTC Sense.
The hardware is a winner and everyone will likely be able to tweak to their liking, as with any other HTC device.
Pyramid going to be released in the UK and named the HTC Sensation.

I'm sure everyone already knows this, but It hasn't been mentioned here yet. HTC is having an event on the 12th. That's two days from now. Most likely announcing the Sensation.

Now official.
I think we need a new sub forum. I might just take the plunge on this one on my personal contract. Alternatively, I could wait for the new year when there is bound to be something new. Only problem is that Vodafone always have a really limited range of devices.
