The guys at Solopalmari.com has been quite busy with the new HD2 bringing us video goodness about the great new device. This time they put the HTC HD2 against the Acer neoTouch and let the 2 battle out to see who does video better.

well, there you have it. The cheap little neotouch beating out the expensive HD2. Its always been my philosophy that the prettiest usually doesn't end up being the best. There's that philosophy in practice. I did buy a neotouch. I get it in a couple days. Next, I will put that pretty little HD2 rom on my neotouch. Sure, the casing won't be as good; but, everything else that matters will be superior to HD2 save for the screen size.
plz do let us know how the hd2 ( wm6.5.3 ) rom does on the neotouch. I am guessing it should be ok with resistive screen coz the new SE Aspen runs WM6.5.3 on resistive screen
I am happy you found a phone you like lawboyyeah :) I am curious though how you figure the Neotouch is superior to the HD2? Don't get me wrong, I did consider this phone but the resistive screen put me off.
This HD2 (on paper) is still superior on hardware: HD2 has the same cpu, more ram and a larger screen (plus its capacitive multitouch). S200 is about £100 cheaper than HD2….
I remember this test, Acer Neotouch had superior graphics drivers and the HD2 was bogged down by the Sense UI which the S200 didn't have. HD2 graphics drivers were not / still not optimised which gave the S200 an advantage :( I think the S200 has its own custom version of Coreplayer which was optimised for that specific device as well.
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on performance change once your have loaded the HD2 rom, think you'll find your phone a little slower.
Its actually very nice. Very smooth as well. Unfortunately, i'm not really hot on the the manilla theme. But the eyecandy weather graphics are nice. The resistive screen is not a problem at all to say the truth. Its quit responsive even using the keyboard in landscape. It took a while to get used to it coming from an iphone 3gs, but its perfectly fine. I also like being able to use it w/gloves on; you see, its cold here and I can't be indoors all the time.

Good luck though
