The only thing good with this phone right now is the processor is pretty good.(Same parts as ATI) Using the same technology as the dualcore processors are out. Im OC mine to 580 safely cause of the dual cores. Cant wait for this driver to come out then ill be playing emulators with ease.(Not like i dont play the GBA NEs emulators smooth already). Im also running the Touch Diamond Interface on my Dual. just got the touch dual and its pretty good… the only thing is the new processor doesnt have a graphics accelerator and HTC hasnt been releasing any driver updates for this so people who buy the new tytn, kaiser, touch, and even the glide will have this problem.

If you look around youtube you will see the speed of this device. Granted, the iPhone, yes, the iPhone is faster with it's "touchflo" type of movements; the Touch/TOuch Dual/Touch Cruise are still quite speedy. And as with most any WM device, there are modified roms to take care of a lto of the other lag/speed issues. So with that, said, I for one am buying this device when it comes out, as well several other well informed buyers. This will be my first HTC phone and I can't wait (regardless of missing graphics drivers for the qualcomm chipset). I would geta Touch Cruise but they are still phenomenally high in price for an unlocked version. @Reader, while 3d acceleration (some 2d stuff like scrolling up and down a web page really fast), and video playing at 640×480 res is slow; the device as a whole is not slow.

Of course that date has passed and no fix is available.
