IraqiGeek, you want to talk "promises"? How about GPS capability and the fact that the same drivers deteriorate TomTom performance and even basic file browsing?
Stop making it look like this is a problem only kids who want to play games experience. As a graphic designer I used to use a number of graphics apps (VS Painter etc) for quick doodles on the go, all without a hitch on my Eten M600. I also preferred using Picsel browser for my day to day browsing. Yes,once in awhile I'd want to fire up a "designed for windows mobile" game like Skyforce. NONE OF THEM runs as they should (ie: optimally) on the Tilt. When people have shelled out more than 500 to 700 dollars for a product you advertise as running on an advanced chip capable of all these things and fail to implement them you owe your loyal customer-base an explanation. By pushing and touting the graphics and communications capabilities of the Q chip they IMPLIED that these new devices were capable of all this and as such was the reason many of us bought them. By your same argument they should then have listed in the spec-sheet that the drivers were being omitted so customers could have made an informed purchase decision. This was a classic bait-and-switch. As far as I'm concerned I hope Eten is listening. Eten, your devices are beautiful...just up the RAM to 128MB and you have a loyal user. I'm done with HTC.
