Today, a friend showed me the very fancy threedimensional movie roll type of photo gallery on a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro. Scrolling proved surprisingly smooth but what astounded me most was that even the fastest flicks through the gallery did not yield empty spaces instead of pictures, something I am rather unaccustomed to from using Windows Phone.
When you scroll through even short pictures lists on Windows Phone, like the "Saved Pictures" category or "Favorites", which are populated but scarcely on my device, you will inevitably face empty squares instead of picture thumbnails upon fast flicks. Despite its processor offering a surplus of 340 MHz compared to the Xperia and the graphically much more humble pictures hub, Windows Phone does not manage to keep up with the maximum speed of flick scrolling already during one single flick. It will initially display empty squares and require you to wait for them to be replaced by the slowly loading thumbnails.
So not only can the pictures list become exceedingly long, as bemoaned in my previous post, but you have to confine yourself with respect to flick scrolling speed in order to permit Windows Phone to keep up with thumbnail loading.
Update: Mango to the rescue! The empty square lag is gone in this fruitful update.
