Compared to the still quality, the video quality is actually a bit rubbish. Video is encoded at AVC baseline with 1 reference frame, and at you’re looking at a bitrate of 10Mbps for 1080p video (which actually comes out as 1920 x 1088 for whatever reason). Audio is single channel AAC recorded at 96kbps, with a mic that’s very susceptible to background noise and generally poor audio quality. The 1 minute, 10 second sample video clip came out in an 86.7MB file, so figure about 75MB per minute of 1080p video capture.
I was relatively crestfallen to see that the Sensation’s stereo mics didn’t make it to the Slide. I know that it’s photo-centric and not video-centric, but for an imaging device, I feel like having the dual mics to provide acceptable audio quality would have been a pretty small concession to make. The additional BOM cost for a second mic would probably have been at most what, 50 cents? Worth every penny.

With this line: "Seriously, HTC does the best hardware keyboards in the business, and it’s been that way for a very long time."After using the blackberry 9900's keyboard, there is less than no doubt in my mind about which is better.
That said, I eagerly look forward to the galaxy s II review and the evo 3D review. I hope they're coming soon!

Hi, good review, i got my 4g slide couple weeks ago, really love it, but the screen is a bit laggy when sliding anything from left to right, from top to bottom, just not smooth as Sensation, is it because of hardware issue?? or it is what it is...Thx
