No problem. I'm glad you were able to see it!

This demo of Pre looks great, I love how they've integrated contacts, calendar and messaging.

The HD-clip you posted on the Idou can also be seen here:

Too bad the screen is resistive.

What's so bad about it?
You can use with other thing than just your bare hands.

I used resistive screens on four different mobiles over the last six years or so, and just now have an iPhone with a capacative screen. Without doubt the capacative screen is better in every way bar one - the need to use your fingers, rather than a stylus or gloves etc.
Resistive screens, by their very design, have multiple layers of plastic and glass on top of the actual screen, all of which cuts down the light that passes either way, meaning less vibrant screens that are far harder to see in daylight than they ought to be. Since they have to have a flexible top surface (again, by design) they're also far more vulnerable to scratches and other damage - the sensible answer to which is a screen a protector, which adds yet another layer of plastic and further obscures the view.
The hard glass capacative screen is a godsend, in contrast. Even forgetting the joys of multitouch (which is difficult if not impossible to implement on a resistive screen), the fact that there's nothing between you and the screen but optical glass means far better visibility in all conditions. It also means there's zero need for a screen protector, since the chances of being unlucky enough to scratch it are vastly reduced (obviously glass isn't completely unbreakable/unscratchable, but its a lot more resilient than soft plastic). On top of that it's instantly responsive, with no need to "press" the screen and much easier flicking and movement across the surface as a result.
In short: capacative FTW.

Yes, I do realise that usually capacitive IS superior, but in the case of Idou, I don't think it matters that much. The phone registers and responds to finger strokes pretty darn fast (iPhone fast) and, from what I've seen, has great screen visibility.

Now i wonder... Does it move fast because the phone is "empty" ? i mean no menu, no nothing, but the media player, phonebook and a few sample images.. I think the camera isn't usable yet.
But that doesn't matter.. now i'm interested in the CPU, RAM, and the GPU.

Doubtfully. The UI isn't finished, yes, and the fact that the phone currently needs to load smaller amounts of data in the memory may also be a factor, but as Idou gets closer to its release, the software will undoubtedly get optimised even futher. I think we have nothing to worry about.
Besides, it packs a really powerful CPU.

well if the w995 packs the most powerful CPU known to SE, I hope this one will use the same (or better). The old 200mhz just wouldn't do anymore... it was already pushed to the limit, and thats why K850i had issues (and C905 restarts sometimes..). OFC it consumed less batery, but it was simply outdated. So hope for the new architecture... may even dream about the Xperia processor in it
