The second video is 720p and it still looks like ass. ]]>May 29th 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/

It still looks like crap. A $200 pocket camera will do better HD video than this, by a lot. I see lots of jerkiness, blurriness, compression artifacts, etc. in this video. And yes, I've clicked the "720p" button.]]>May 29th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/
I'm not sure why this even made the front page, Engadget mobile would've been a little bit borderline as well, unless they are trying to take some steam out of the Stream that the other day they were amping up.

Seriously, I don't know why this device was talked up. 2GB internal out of the box, nothing really special going on, this thing is a chump when lined up next to the Motoroi, the Evo 4G and the Galaxy S. ]]>May 29th 2010 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/
Why do you keep banging the same drum ? It's a 2GB micro SD card which can be easily upgraded by you or by the carrier, a lot of carriers here in the UK have finally started using 8GB and Samsung can bundle big cards easily since they make it.
Most people just buy themselves a class 6 16/32GB card and transfer it from phone to phone.]]>May 29th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/Like MMS?]]>May 29th 2010 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/I agree with Shalabi as well, when the iPhone is introduced with the FFC and 720p capabilities, any phone that comes after without, will be considered inferior.]]>May 29th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/i dont know why people keep wanting such HD video from devices that arent meant for HD quality
if you're so interested in HD then youd get a camera that does it specifically for the job.
phones are meant to capture quick moments, and by the looks of it this phone does it quite well]]>May 29th 2010 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/these devices out there are all touting 720 HD video capture, but they deliver it with bad results. However, the Nokia N8 seems to actually deliver on the promise, and the SE Vivaz isn't far off either.

So if you want to do HD video recording, there is no need to buy a seperate camera and spend more money. Just choose a smartphone with good HD capture skills like the ones I mentioned and a few others.]]>May 29th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/considering that 720p are about 900K pixel that wouldnt be to bad :-)

You're about 3 years behind... YouTube now uses h.264 (among other codecs) at up to 1080p resolution.
]]>May 29th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/
btw, click this, then click "1080p" and the full-screen button. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K83hME5OKws

Then you'll know what YouTube is capable of these days. If your computer can handle it, anyway.

Any newly-submitted video on YouTube that doesn't look like that is because of the source. YouTube's not the quality bottleneck anymore.]]>May 29th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-V_Q_k5LQw]]>May 29th 2010 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/That looks a lot more decent, yes.]]>May 29th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/
And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8todlcvu9E4

Engadget...you already know that your readership is prone to knee jerk reactions (see the guys above) so why not be a little more careful?

Not only is this video not a fair representation of the phone it seems a fair few of these tech fans have never heard of micro SD or expandable memory at all.]]>May 29th 2010 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/
A high-end streaming device on a phone should be able to shoot better quality videos than this for content creation and to be able to store them and whatever content you consumer. Otherwise, it'll be that much harder to overcome the fail.

Since your critical of those who are critical of Engadget and those who don't like the storage, let me ask you, do you find this a compelling device? I think fixing these two shortcomings makes it a very compelling device. That's why I've said what I've said. I think having 18GB with a measly class 2 card for the price that this phone will command without being better than the competition is a niche, anything higher in storage or card class is a waste of money. ]]>May 29th 2010 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/May 29th 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/stream-sits-still-for-the-camera-shows-off-its-camcorder-abilit/the 720p version isn't much better.
