How often do you use the video recording feature on your Pre/Pixi? Sorry for the obscure poll options. I voted for the "less than 2 times". haha...I really wanted the feature, but ended up not using it ever lol

I use it quite often
I've used it to record one video just for the novelty when it came out. Its a feature I had on all my phones before the pre and its something I rarely use. I bought the pre knowing it wouldn't have the feature for awhile, and it made no difference to me.

The video app is very impressive in quality, but I quit using it because it's so sluggish. Sometimes I start a recording an nothing happens. Sometimes it gets choppy for no reason. It's a shame because the app is good but it's the hardware that's messing things up.
I've used video recording a few times short of...never.
For those of you that do use it a lot, how do you think it holds up to other phone camcorders you have used??
video cam is a lot better now runnin @ 800MHz

just sayin...and I use it, but it's not very often

The few times I have tried it the video and sound were out of sync so I stopped using it. I plan on trying it again but haven't needed it yet. So I guess that means I don't use it very often.

Same here. I have a 16 month old son and there have been several times I wanted to use it, but the thought of waiting a minute just to start a recording that may or may not work has stopped me.
Here's to hoping 1.4.1 fixes it!!!

I use it whenever I go see bands and that's on a bi-weekly basis.

It's one of the few things about the phone I hate. A 1 min video can't be sent to my wife cuz the file is too large. A 2 min video won't upload to facebook or youtube. *** is the point of having something you can't hardly use?
I don't use it very often. The couple of times where there was a moment to use it, it either failed to open or took too long to get open. The quality is great but the execution is disappointing. It has also made the camera operation much worse as discussed in other threads.

Hang tight, I can almost guarantee a patch will come out to overcome this. Until then I guess you need to shorten or copy to the PC.

Used it once when it came out but since I can't upload it to photobucket or email to myself I haven't tried again.

I SO agree with this. I wonder if a patch could be made to go right into video.
I use it ALL THE TIME. I've got two small kids who do cute things ALL THE TIME.
I find it fast, and the quality is better than my old Centro. But the quality doesn't have to be amazing. I just want to be able to look back at special moments with my girls, and it works just fine.
