Nov 30th 2008 8:10PM I get that it's a cool phone, but at that price, is it really worth getting over say, an older HTC touch, or a normal featurephone and a Zune/iPod to go with it? Heck, you could even get a digital camera to go along with it all.

Nov 29th 2008 4:45PM On my Eee 1000h:
All websites are fast, try chrome or Firefox 3 out.
480p works great over hulu, although i still put it in super mode, just in case
720p does NOT work on hulu, or youtube (youtube in HQ is great)
1080i in HDV MPEG-2 format plays back great, the files are just huge.
1080p WMV stutters a bit, but is watchable.
I think the probllems you are running into are caused by
A) a slow browser, if you're using IE, then get firefox, if you're using Firefox, get chrome.
B) using quicktime for video playback. It sucks on windows, even on my C2D desktop. Try VLC instead.
C) flash. No real workaround for this one, although it seems pretty ineffcient CPU wise compared to silverlight for video. Keep it in 480p and you should be fine (the screen is how big now?)
I routinely plug mine in to my 720p RPTV to watch netflix movies all the time, the videos themselves aren't hd, but they scale nicely.

Nov 24th 2008 1:35AM This is why Man created the subscription. Zune Pass and Netflix have you covered on the music/movies side, and I think gametap has some games for subscription download (don't know how they price or anything).
