If Samsung can do it with the same hardware using Symbian S60 OS, why can't Nokia do it.
Why can't Motorola do it (the Droid as shipped also does not do 720p) ? Samsung is secret saucing there. The hardware is originally NOT meant for 720p and TI is not selling it as such. Whether they cheat, funk with frame or bitrate, have extra hardware besides the OMAP3, I don't know, but the 3430 is no HD chip.

As for stutters - my experience is that it happens due to either swapping or some background tasks mucking around (usually it's not the task per se but the disk activity is generates).
