Seriously... River has been this defensive since I first read one of her posts.... When we were all waiting impatiently for the EVO she seemed to want to tear into anyone that may have a question or want to voice there opinions....
Just two things.
1.) He wants polished. The htc evo, or any phone offered by sprint is not going to be polished. Period. Not like the iphone is. Not going to happen. So to say they will fix it in the next 2 months, is folly. If you want polished, your only choice is iphone.
2.) I am not defensive, that is where you are wrong, I could care less about sprint, the htc evo, and what apple does. But to mindless beat a dead horse is just beyond dumb. If you have read my post, I have repeatedly said do not get your hopes up, this is sprint, they will screw it up if they can.
Now why did I tell the op to go to the iphone? Well, a little problem of time. The htc evo 2, or the next great phone is about 6 months out. After sprint fixes the build quality, battery life, graphics frames per second, receptions issues, glitchs, and the other 1001 problems, they will get to increasing something that is not broken. It is not the frames per second that is making the phone look bad, it is the software that processes it and compresses that makes it look bad. That is alot more harder to fix then just increasing the buffer rate of the memory.
Doing a simple youtube search will show you the difference between 24fps and 30fps. For just the tinyest amount of light increase and smallest amount of motion blur to be a problem for him, then the real problems of the phone is going to just to much.
So instead of him hanging his hopes on something that does not need to be fixed only for the sake of numbers, is just too much. So go to the iphone, get your 6 frames per second more, and be happy.
If it means that much to you. But the real problems with the video is how htc and sprint choose to compress the file which can not and will not be fixed by either froyo or them anytime in the near future. They simply have too many other problems, like battery life to deal with.
YouTube - Comparison 24vs30 - Guess which video is 24fps and which is 30fps?
