The Pixi processor was faster than the Dream.
The Pixi is slow because WebOS is slow.
The Pre 2 was in the market place for less than a year before HP pulled the plug.
You are avoiding my point with irrelevant facts.
You cannot honestly say that an OS sucks because you are using a 3 year old version of an OS.
That is just a ridiculous statement.
Im aware that the Pre3 was never launched officially by AT&T but I am holding one in my hand right now and using it.
If you want to make a fair statement regarding webOS, then try it on a Veer, Pre3, Touchpad, Pre2, anything with webOS 2.2.4 or 3.05 on it.
Hell, even trying it on a Pre2 with 2.1 which is almost 2 years old would be a more logical statement.
basically you are saying "guys Windows sucks because I use windows 98 and it sucks!"
Thats what you are saying.
The Pixi sucks though, and should never have been released. You are right about that.
But its processor is not more powerful than the HTC Dream. While it has slightly more MHz, it is an ARM6 device, which is much, MUCH slower than the Qualcomm MSM7201A ARM11 processor.
Megahertz mean nothing, what is important is L1 and L2 cache, bus speed, pipeline burst speed and many other factors that go into a CPU. And the Dream outperforms the Pixi in every area.
Plus the Pixi uses software radio, so it needs to allocate about 80mb of RAM to just placing phone calls. So that 256mb of ram is really about 180 mb.
Your Pixi is really about a 300mhz device with 180mb of ram, im sorry to break it to you.
Anything with those specs will be sluggish as hell
