Its such a shame because my HTC kaiser is more powerful that my current 
download machine (pentium 2 xeon 400mhz).

HTC never fixed it but the community did release drivers which run on Windows 
mobile 6.1 only. I've noticed a huge increase in speed when trying to play 
video files using core player and the direct3d demos are very impressive.

I'm glad I'm not the only person on this list who loves HTC devices but
hates how they mishandled the ImageOn fiasco :( They never did fix it, did
they? Glad I kept my Alpine for satnav duties, even though it doesn't have
persistent RAM (yes, if the battery dies, it factory resets... Retro!)


Have you heard anything about whether the Vario 4 (HTC Raphael) has the same
issues? I skipped the Vario 3 and my Vario 2 has recently REALLY started to
show signs of age... largely due to the abuse it's taken from me over the
past 20 months... but I could really do with an upgrade sometime soon.
