Hi Everyone,
I tested a desire running 2.1 for 2 weeks (to check out a viable alternative to another iPhone) and was stunned at how good it was, I simply didnt expect it. However, the two areas that i felt it really wasn't great (which are two areas that are important to me) were the speed of the music player, and photo gallery.
I only had a 4Gb card bundled but I loaded 400 odd photos and filled the rest up with music.
I walk to and from work for about 45 mins each way, so music capability is very important, and I felt the music player didn't really cut it performance wise when, say, unlocking the phone, opening the music player and skipping to a different artist etc.
I also found the pictures app to not scroll anywhere near as smoothly when scrolling through an album full of pics.
I know 2.2 is supposed to bring some pretty major performance upgrades with the JIT compiler - can anyone let me know if they have noticed a difference in these two areas?
Perhaps it was just me, but I couldn't seem to get Facebook or my e-mail to "push" updates to the phone? I got twitter to check every 5 mins which is fine, but I couldn't for the life of me get facebook to! I checked the settings under something like setting-> accounts and sync (I'm doing this from memory) and set everything to as low a frequency as possible.
everything else, the desire trumped my iphone on, I can see Apple being beaten into the ground this year unless they do something VERY special with iOS5!
Thanks Everyone
