HTC Touch HD Review

Let’s analyze its name – Touch HD. The first word shows that the device belongs to the Touch series, known for its optimized interface in order to be finger-friendly. But what does HD stand for? HTC doesn’t explain it but we know it very well - High-definition, i.e. high resolution images/videos. This is the key feature of the Taiwanese monster. The large 3.8-inch display...

Hei guys at PhoneArena, when you used the CorePlayer, did you use only Direct3D video mode, or you switched to other video modes as well (for example GDI)? Because I have seen many devices which do not perform well in Direct3D but with the other modes they ar just fine.

I would of expected a higher rating in the Christian Dior rank, because don't get me wrong, this device look nice. The only thing holding it back is the size, but it has such a large screen, who wouldn't like it?

Ok phonearena team it seems that you are the only one with the coreplayer problem. You need to play with the settings!

According to pocketnow review, coreplayer was used and the video playback is 'super smooth, and the clarity is fantastic'.

Hey guys,

Some buddies said the video quality could be dramatically improved by turning on the option "Raw Frame Buffer" in Core Player.
Can you please confirm that ???

Thx

Its not a comment rather a question... Iam asking all experts opinion which is much better to buy HTC HD or Samsung Omnia?

I'm thinking the Omnia will end up better. For all the questions about divx, i read omnia will support it along with other formats. But yeah after a long wait I gave up on the Iphone and am now debating between this Htc HD and the Omnia.

I dont really understand why everyone is talking about the HD not playing videos well.

I installed coreplayer and i can play all my favorite shows, i watch them in the train all the time, without any chopyness.

I just put the standard DIVX dvd rips on it, which have a reso of something like 620x380. Everything works perfectly! and it uses very little battery while watching a movie, very nice.

I currently have a Nokia N95 8gb and am considering buying an HTC touch HD. Is the quality of the video playback better than on the Nokia as this is important factor when buying a phone? Can you actually download a video player to compensate for the one that's already on the HD?
