Hi, I have the Incredible S from virgin and the reviews from phonearena showed the incredible S playing 720p movies without any stutter but when I try to play an mp4 file @ 1280x720 h.264 it lags hard, why?

Also, I have task killer and I always kill apps to save RAM, and I see that I always have 320Mb of ram or less free when I start up or when I have the minimum amount of apps running, since this phone as 768Mb, does that mean sense takes up like 300mb? Is there any way to cut down on RAM consumption?

I'm thinking its because I don't have enough RAM that 720p lags...

Mine does the same, I even notice it lagging when shooting in 720p
