    As of this post, it would appear that the S-OFF tool, Revolutionary, may not successfully flash clockworkmod recovery for everyone.

    I was playing with a View during launch and noticed that scrolling the Sense UI was very choppy. I gave the store demo unit a reboot, but it didn't help. Anyone else seeing this? Even the Evo 4G, which was known to have choppy scrolling frame rates, performed better than the view.
