Enjoy.

What more can i say than... awesome, amazing... arous... alliteratively speaking a very, very good review.


Initially thought you had a bone to pick with the D3 (judging from early forum posts) but it sounds to me that the Gingerbread Update really did improve Usability to an acceptable level.

I guess the performance issues are mostly to blame on the TCC8900 and future software optimizations won't help much, that's a pity.

That thing (at least the CPU-side, the Mali GPU is quite decent as you mentioned) seems to be way too inefficient, operating at 1,5 Volt according to this site: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=...lechip_tcc8900

great review, indepth and full of goodies. I too wait for a good apt-x player :D

Im very curious as to how this D3 goes up against the archos 32 or 43. Hmm..

No comment.

Well, the things that annoy me about the D3 are still the same as before, and I included them in the review: http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64667

I only got the D3 when the Android 2.3.3 upgrade came out, I actually didn't try it with 2.1 on it. I guess that is a good thing, at least for my blood pressure. ;) But yeah, reading other people's reviews based on 2.1 firmwares, in hindsight I cannot relate to many of the issues they describe.

at my place ,the 32 gb d3 is cheaper than the 32 gb j3 .
which one should i go for ?
