Meh, at the rate they're moving on this, dont hold your breath. There's some videos on youtube that show the difference in performance in common GPS navigation programs.. Heres one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJWAu6IRe4 It's not a terribly big deal for typical business use, but if you like to play games or run emulators on your phone, thats a dealbreaker. Get an 8525 and upgrade it to WM6 in that case, all the Tilt adds is internal GPS and an external bluetooth GPS puck can be had for 20 or 30 bucks. I sure hope they dont pull this fiasco with the X1!

But HTC has promised an update "soon" that is supposed to improve video performance. However, video performance doesn't seem terrible to me now. But as I mentioned in another message, this is my first smart phone so I don't have anything to compare it to.
