HTC Evo - Touch Pro2 CDMA

Who will be switching from Touch Pro 2 to HTC Evo?
Evo available at Sprint for $299.99 - $100 MIR = $199.99 + Tax on JUNE 4
Be ready 'cause there will be a line.

No way and not for an extra 10 a month for 4g that isnt that much of any upgrade

no keyboard = no EVO for me
EVO Pro....no THERES a tasty thought

No 4G where I live...so not for me either!l

Sorry going over to the evo side looks but will probably be back

We'll see
Just bought one from someone who went to Google I/O. Comes with 30 days free service. I'll try it out, and if I like it, I'll set it up on my main number and sell the TP2. If not, I'll sell the EVO.

I drool over it... But I just love my sprint SERO plan so much more. With the extra savings from the service plan each year, I could buy a laptop... HAHA.

Got my $50 preorder first day it was available. I was drooling over the HD2 until it was announced it was coming to T-Mobile..... this is the chance to get a very similar phone with a better operating system (AND FOR SPRINT!!!)
I don't know how anyone would turn away from this phone....even if you are only in a 3G area.... show if off to everyone you know that has an iPhone and watch their jaws drop!
BTW, who in their right mind would pay $30 to tether when the phone has been rooted before it started shipping.....(?)
Hook up with an Everything Data plan with a *COUGH* "Corporate Discount" and you have a monthly price that rivals the old SERO plans

"Corporate Discount", eh? Will have to look into that..

Only way is if they come out with a WinMo "EVO" (HD2 CDMA)

are you referring to EPRP? because that price doesnt rival SERO at all, and I heard you cant activate an EVO on those plans

Nope, just using an Corporate Employee Plan with Everything Data wireless plan. I have 3 lines that split 1500 anytime mins, unlimted text/data/gps/nav, and AnyMobile Anytime for $120/mo
On the "iPhone" bit, the people I know that have those POS's are so dense they think the TP2 is worse BECAUSE it has a qwerty keyboard.... HA HA HA

No bluetooth dialing so I'm staying with the TP2
I upgraded from the original touch to the HTC Hero for about 2 hours. First time I tried to voice dial in the car I nearly wrecked. Went straight to the sprint store and traded it in on the TP2. Even though sprint says you can try any phone for 30 days they neglect to tell you about the $35 restock fee. (Boo sprint) I've fallen in love with the device. It wasn't immediate love but after the upgrade to 6.5, it's as close to perfect as I've ever seen. I can't believe Google in all its infinite wisdom would leave such an important tool off the latest release.

Froyo 2.2 does include bluetooth dialing, and voice activated text messages (That supposedly works very good..... we will see). Any N1, Droid, or EVO users should get the OTA update within a few months of this coming out. Those creative enough can get it much quicker if you know how.
I look at it this way: I have done nothing but gone up with windows mobile phone - HTC Titan, HTC Mogul, HTC TouchPro, HTC TouchPro2.... the software gets a little better with every revision, but never really gets me too excited about what it is capable of. (At least until MaxSense is released) And even that is a USER driven addon. The first time I played with Eclair on my TP2, I knew it was time for a change. I download the Android SDK and the Froyo emulator...........it is like the first time using and actually understanding Linux........ actually, it's EXACTLY the same. With the exception that with the EVO, you will also have a huge 4.3" screen, front facing camera, and one of the fastest processors available in a mobile phone. And this is for $150 less that I paid for the TP2 (Bought in middle on contract - so picked it up on ebay new for $400 just after it came out) vs. $250 for the EVO after the rebate.

i don't get why so people are so high strung on thinking that android is better than wm from my experience with the android builds it seems to not be much different or anymore or less capable. however because its not Windows , the fact that i just got s free tp2 and that i don't have 4G coverage here in my area (chicago suburbs) i will have to pass on the evo untill someone manages to port wm to it and/or when 4G is available in my area.

I love my TP2, but I liked more the Imagio's sleek design, no slide-out keyboard though... To me, the Evo looks like the Imagio, but running Android, not my choice of OS but it's "ok".. +1 to have a WM "Evo"

To be honest, I would have loved the HD2 had it come to sprint. When I heard it was going to Tmobile I felt a lot like I might as well hang onto the TP2......When I saw the specs for the EVO i litterally thought " wow, its an HD2 with some extra stuff..... but it runs android." This is where I started playing with android on the TP2, started asking people I knew that had an android phone what they thought about it, went to the cell phone stores and played with all the phone ( thats a bad habit anyway :->) I don't want to come out rash and say that this OS is better than a WM Phone..... it is just different. It has a lot of useful features, different UI customizations, and most obviously - different from what I have been using for quite a while now. Is the EVO the best phone ever made??? It might be now.... but I doubt it....
Is it the best phone Sprint has to offer? NO DOUBT, YES IT IS!
I am sure the new iPhone will get everyones attention, and verizon will be stepping up it's LTE towards the end of the year.... we will probably see at least 4-5 MUCH better phones than the EVO before the end of the year. But this is as good as it gets for sprint for at least the next 6 months, maybe even a year.

Yeah, HD2 is very very nice. Just not CDMA
The WM preference is personal, since I program .net and I can write my own apps. Is there a .net android compiler out there? I don't know..but would be nice to know of..

Can't say that I know of one..... - as .net is MS's baby.....
Off topic: This seems absolutely ludacris to me, and would be considered "illegal" due to the fact that the phones are not licensed as such, but has anyone ever tried to port Windows Mobile to an Android handset?
Not that I would have much interest, but it seems as though I have read here and on other forums that if a user could dual-boot into WM and Android (ie GenY Dual Boot designed for WM Phones) they would be more inclined to at least give android a shot. (?)
Figured it was worth throwing out there.

It's HTC's lil secrets (booting addys and hardware drivers) they can if they wanted to, but do they want to?
Here is a good one, same processor, obviously same of a lot of stuff that compose the devices, can an HD2 rom be tested on an EVO? hmmmm

[Q] HTC HD2 or Nexus One? or Tilt 2?

i wanna ask everyone a question here, my birthday is coming up and i decided to get a new phone, i always wanted the HD2 but since TMobile has announced that its only going to be exclusive to them i wont be able to get 3G with AT&T, do you think its still worth getting it even though ill be on EDGE?
also one more question, the Nexus One has been released and it has similar specs to HD2, what you think is better as far as functionallity and battery would go for?
P.S. thought i wanna throw in this but i was thinking bout the Tilt 2 from AT&T i know its got a bigger screen than FUZE and i still got 3G...decisions decisions
looking foward to everyones answers, thanks!
I think you should wait it out, the year just started so newer and better phone are sure to be released. I heard the Nexus had some problems, pretty minor and can be fixed via update but you'll only beable to use edge on Att.
Definitely wait it out...it was announced at CES that AT&T would be receiving 5 Android devices (three of them HTC), for all you know one of them could be the Nexux One or Nexus One Pro! It would suck to drop $530 on a phone just to use EDGE.
That will depend a lot if you prefer Android or WM
Personally I would go for Leo or Rhodium as I think Android is to young and immature OS...I am sure in the near future it will be a good option but not now..at least for me
Good luck on your decision!

damn that is true.....i just dont uderstand what AT&T was thinking, but then yet again im not ready to move into Andriod JUST YET...ATT they have the Expo but no custom rom yet
But you gotta admit the "Leo" looks better than the Nexus IMO, I never used a WinMo phone but ive always used windows(2000,XP,7).
I was wondering how fast the phone is and if it had a Dragon under the hood.
ya i wanna get the feel of 1ghz...well hopefully ATT will annouce a WM phone with another 1ghz chip very soon hopefully within the next month or so, but for now i should start collecting money and save up
btw is there an HD2 from a mobile company that runs on the same bands as ATT?? i heard Telstra from AUS runs it but i wanna confirm if it does

I have a question about possible trade - Tilt2 for Touch HD?

Would anyone trade a Touch HD for a Tilt 2?
I'm not looking for a trade, just wondering.
Thanks

If someone offered a Tilt2 for a Touch HD it would be his or her dream come true.
There is nothing on the Touch HD that is better than the Tilt2...
The only thing that the Touch HD has compared to the Tilt2 is the damn 3.5 mm headphone jack. Are you serious about the trade? Cause your question doesn't make sense.
So of course someone would trade (give) his Touch HD for a Tilt2.
Is your sentence wrong? Because if it is then this would seem to be a more plausible question: Would anyone trade his Tilt2 for my Touch HD?
The answer would be hell no. Unless the Tilt2 was heavily used, full of scratches and has hardware/software issues, no one will want to exchange it for a Touch HD.
Well I know only diff is that the Tilt gets Att 3G, the button QWERTY, and doesn't have a 3.5mm.
I really like listening to music and I use my phone as an Mp3 player because I dont want to carry a phone and a Zune.
I want the 3.5mm headset jack and don't mind the lack of a keyboard. I was just wondering If I did get the Tilt2 if It would be crazy to try to trade it for a Touch HD.
Thing is I'd have to get a dataplan to get the Tilt 2 to trade for the HD and then I'd have a touch HD that can't use the dataplan I'd now have.
I already have the Incite which has WinMo 6.5 and a 3.5mm, So I guess I'd still use the dataplan when I have my sim in the Incite.
So The question is do I want to stick with the Incite and it's Wifi
or
Do I get a dataplan and a tilt 2 that I trade for a Touch HD and only use the dataplan when the Sim is in the Incite.
Or I do as above but give the dataplan to my brother's phone and Just have a Incite and a Touch HD both with just Wifi.
Too bad I cant get the HD2... XD Because while it's hard to decide how badly I want the Touch HD over the Incite, the only real difference is that the Touch HD has a bigger screen.
If I had the choice to get the HD2 over the Incite it'd be a no brainer. The HD has the Snapdragon, more RAM, more internal ROM, a bigger screen that is capacitive. I dont even mind it doesn't get at&t 3G.

If you don't flash your phone then you are stuck with a phone with older software. Also, the finger friendly Windows Mobile 6.5.3 is probably not officially supported by HTC on your HTC Touch HD, so you probably will need to flash it on your own.
And trading a Tilt2 for that would be freaking crazy.
I'd like you to know that the HTC Touch Pro2 has the one of the best keyboard around, I mean it's better than any blackberry, better than my Nokia E90, better than any android phone so far, and better than a touch screen keyboard, of course better than Palm, etc!!!!!!!!
If anything, trade it for a Nokia N900. Though, not windows mobile, it's processor is faster than the HTC Touch HD, meaning less likely to have skippy music or delay during music playback. Furtheremore, the N900 speaker is just as good as the N95, and most people who know about phones can verify that the N95 speakers are not only very loud, but very high sound quality, and you get two speakers like on a laptop. And it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The Tilt2 also has tilting screen, so you can watch videos while working on a table, which is kinda geeky but whatever.
Tilt2 also requires a data plan if you get it on ATT. So why would you pay for data plan just to use a phone that doesn't support the data plan. Isn't that stupid? And if you are going to buy a Tilt2 on eBay or something, just buy a Touch HD so you don't go through with the trade.

The HTC Touch HD does not have a snapdragon, has less RAM, and less ROM, and it is resistive.
The HTC Touch HD2 has a snapdragon, more RAM, and more ROM, and it is capacitive.
Thanks for confusing me. Next time, pay attention to the series number, and report the right number, or you will get different answers.
For the Touch HD2 yeah the swap seems plausible, if you do it now, you might get a swap, but I suggest keeping your Tilt2 unopened and 100% brand new. Do not peel any stickers or anything. If you have to get your hands on it use latex gloves, but do not peel the sticker on screen.
Next, you have to swap it with someone with a used HD2 who really abhors his HD2. But soon, the HD2 for T-Mobile will come out, and it will be impossible for you to find someone to swap an HD2 because it has become more valuable for the Americans, and they wouldn't want to swap you. Why? Well because the ones with the European Touch HD2 are going to get the American version for T-Mobile. So right now there will be people more willing to trade it for a brand new Tilt2.
Or, if you are smart, just go month to month with ATT until the T-Mobile HD2 comes out. I heard that month to month on ATT doesn't charge you more, it just means you can cancel anytime or renew a contract for a brand new phone.
But when the T-Mobile HD2 comes out, transfer your phone number to T-Mobile and sign a contract with T-Mobile for an HD2 with a data plan that you actually use.
BTW...I think that swapping it will be very hard, and what you are doing is crazy, and I knew it when you said that you "weren't looking for a trade" you were actually looking for a trade, cause obviously if someone wanted to trade you would trade.

I know about flashing phones, my Incite it running Dark Wolf's newest 6.5 Rom
I like the Tilt 2 also but the 3.5mm is like critical to me.
I dont want to get a phone that isn't Winmo.

Sorry about that, it was a typo, the HD you bolded I meant to type HD2.
The point of this thread was just to find out if I got the Tilt 2 if I could trade it for a Touch HD because I really want that 3.5mm. But you're probably right because the Touch HD cant use the dataplan I should probably just keep my Incite, But If I could trade a Tilt 2 for an HD2 then I'd probably get the Tilt 2 and do what I said about just using the dataplan I'd now have on the Incite every once in a while or put it on my brother's phone since I bet he'd like that.

Are you considering switching to T-Mobile for the upcoming HD2?
well I'm currently on my dad's family plan so I'm not sure, plus I dont know how much the HD2 will cost even with new contract so I'm not too sure about that.
The problems with getting a contract with T-mobile is that Calls between my family and my best friend and I wouldn't be free. Plus I'd have to get the T-mobile dataplan which I dont really want especially because it's not as good at at&t's

Well just get the phone and do with the trade. If you can't do it, at least you have the best phone there is on ATT (aside from the iPhone).

Well the HTC Leo costs 800 dollars.
The ATT Tilt2 costs 500 dollars.
The HTC Blackstone costs 500 dollars and if you are lucky may cost around 300-400 dollars.
Tilt2 trade for Blackstone is a guarantee.
HTC Leo trade for a Tilt2 is almost impossible.
Not me, as hardware keyboard is a must.
Even if Leo has better specs...I prefer Rhodium!
I'd be willing to get and trade a tilt2 for a HD2... question is should I get the Tilt 2 and try?

You can try. It's not that I think it's a bad idea what you are doing, but it's that it's really hard. I wouldn't do it because the HD2 is a league higher than the Tilt2, and it's hard to get someone to trade his HD2 for the Tilt2.
to me the HD screen and integrated buttons are much more appealing while the Tilt 2 is really just the next generation of a long line of HTC phones. Now that the HD2 is out, I think the Tilt 2 has lost some luster and this wouldn't be such a one sided trade anymore. I may even consider it, lol.

T-Mobile customer...what phone to get??

Ok my G1 is done and out, i'm not sure what phone to get. I'm staying with t-mo because i'm still under contract on some of the lines on my family plan. My limit on spending on the phone is $300 so no Nexus or Milestone,I AM eligible for a full upgrade price through T-Mo though...
Here are my current options
MyTouch Slide-Not too crazy on the cpu, not a lot of feedback/hype of the phone, so maybe not alot of support will come to it after it's release?. Dont really like that it's targeted as a beginner android phone
wait 'til Galaxy S comes out- But will this thing even come to T-Mo? If so WHEN?
wait 'til Motoroi,havent heard much about it. Highly doubt it will come to T-Mo
wait and see if Nexus One comes to retail store???
wait and see what this whole "Big thing" in June 19th is all about that T-Mobile is talking about
What do you guys think I should do? I would like to get into a new android phone within the next month, I'm using an ancient brick right now and I really miss having a smartphone
Honestly, I don't like any of the phones you mentioned. If I had to reccomend a phone, or two, I would suggest the Touch Pro 2 because of the keyboard, does what you need it to do and then some, great deal of applications and custom roms available. Second would be the HD2 because of everything that I said about the TP2 but waaaaayyyyy faster.
I dont need a physical keyboard, though I want to stay with Android.
I had my eyes on the HD2 but only because of the possibility of porting Android onto it, but looks like that wont happen.
Isnt the TP2 a dated phone? How is it faster than the HD2?
hmmm well i got my nexus one for 365 without a contract but i dont think you could do that anymore since they cancelled the online store... i ordered and cancelled and just paid the ETF instead of the 529....for me its all about the support from google and the devs, since the mytouch slide has sense ui itll take wayyy longer for it to get updates from google.
I would wait out to see what happens with the nexus one bro, this phone is the best thing and i came from the g1 as well.
I know man, I want to get either the Galaxy S or the Nexus but I dont know how long I can wait..
I was thinking of getting a mytouch 1.2 or something from craigslist to cruise until something worthwhile actually comes up from T-mobile and then selling it off again.
I did this when i broke my 1st G1, i got a 2nd G1 to cruise until something comes out,but the 2nd G1 didnt last long either. IDK if I want to pay the $200 for a used mytouch 1.2 with the fear of not able to sell it later down the road....

My .02 on Atrix v. Inspire

I, like many, was thoroughly intrigued when the Atrix was announced and all it's awesome features. However, the more I think about it, the more I will be going with the Inspire. Here is my list why, and feel free to add to it:
- Better quality in build
- Better software support
- I refuse to pay $500 for a keyboard and LCD screen
- CyanogenMod
- Unlocked Kernel
- Overclocking potential
- I do not NEED dual 1GHz w/ 1GB RAM
- Little bigger screen
- Desire HD already has a headstart in Rooting/Modding
I work for AT&T (Feel free to ask me anything pertaining to plans, phones, etc.) and will more than likely buy this phone without a contract since we get 40% of MSRP on devices. I'll just wait when/if HTC releases a dual core phone on AT&T to upgrade.
Also, I am ending my contract with T-Mobile (Although I love them) because of the Cliq XT fiasco. That is also my #1 reason to not go with Moto. Moto don't care about their upgrades, and they make it hard for the awesome devs here at XDA to continue the life of said devices.
I'd like to know if android os can take advantage of 2 cores. Same question for apps. I'd also like to see some total size comparisons between the atrix and inspire
I agree completely! I get an upgrade once a year, why not get a good device then next year see if all of these dual core devices take off. I have had two locked down android devices, and they are infuriating. I use an xperiax10(btw I am running 2.2.1), and while I love the specs of the phone it just doesn't meet expectations. I am going with the inspire, and I will have fun with it!

My thoughts exactly. I was super stoked about the Atrix but the more things have been revealed about it I think I'll be a lot happier with the Inspire. I don't need a laptop dock or a dock for my TV/Monitor. I do want something that I'll be able to mess with, and HTC has shown a history of excellence in this regard. Also, you can't really beat the price. The ratio of dollar to build quality is pretty awesome when it comes to the Inspire, and I don't even really care if it has HSPA+ or not. I'm in an area where I regularly pull 3.5 down and 1.6 up on regular HSPA, so as long as it doesn't get any slower I'll be fine.
Really excited to get my Inspire on launch day.

I, like many, was thoroughly intrigued when the Atrix was announced and all it's awesome features. However, the more I think about it, the more I will be going with the Inspire. Here is my list why, and feel free to add to it:
- Better quality in build
- Better software support
- I refuse to pay $500 for a keyboard and LCD screen
- CyanogenMod
- Unlocked Kernel
- Overclocking potential
- I do not NEED dual 1GHz w/ 1GB RAM
- Little bigger screen
- Desire HD already has a headstart in Rooting/Modding
I work for AT&T (Feel free to ask me anything pertaining to plans, phones, etc.) and will more than likely buy this phone without a contract since we get 40% of MSRP on devices. I'll just wait when/if HTC releases a dual core phone on AT&T to upgrade.
Also, I am ending my contract with T-Mobile (Although I love them) because of the Cliq XT fiasco. That is also my #1 reason to not go with Moto. Moto don't care about their upgrades, and they make it hard for the awesome devs here at XDA to continue the life of said devices.

Much agreed. Going with the Inspire for same reasons. 1 question I do have is that I have yet to see anything regarding different data pricing for HSPA+. Only thing recent I've seen is the increase by 2gb's for tethering. My unlimited data is grandfathered, so im curious as to what i will be told when upgrading, however I as well will buy the Inspire outright as my upgrade isn't till Black Friday of this year =]
Oh and will these HSPA+ phones be compatible on the further developed LTE network? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Anyone notice how the 4 buttons on the bottom of the phone are in different order depending on the manufacture! I personally like the order the HTC uses better than Motorola.
So here is what I have to add to the list:
* HTC Sense UI with website services
* Android OS button order
* Dual LED flash
* Cheaper to buy outright and save upgrade credit for when HTC dual core, LTE, Front Camera device shows up on AT&T which I think will be by the end off the year or early 2012.
@danielsaenz so since u work for att, can u also get me the 40% off on a outright inspire? Lol, kidding aside, I'd pick HTC over Motorola all day, hardware isnt everything if your software sux, and that blur crap on motorola is garbage.
@danielsaenz it is true that for this summer at&t is planning to offer the unlimited data plan back?
I have it but I am looking to put it to my wife.

I work at a COR location (Corporate Retail Store) and unfortunately we are very limited in the info that is provided for us. We have a system called MyCSP (My Customer Support Portal) that is where we get most of our information at. Thankfully, I spoke to my area manager about this and although there is still no official word yet, he's pretty sure that you will still be grandfathered into your unlimited data. However, he does believe that the $20 tethering add-on will apply. Will keep you guys posted ASAP.

If I could, trust me I would, but I don't want to risk my job for this.

I have no idea where you got this from, but it is extremely unlikely. Even the admired Verizon is planning to go to tiered data plans. Sprint is adding $10, and T-Mobile will more than likely soon start tiered plans too.

Appreciate the info it really helps. I did read the engadget article on people threatening to get the VZW iphone, so they were offered unlimited data back, but i dont know how much truth goes into that. Personally, I think it is dumb to buy the iphone 4 this late, but that justs my 2 cents. Plus, my tethering doesn't get interrupted when i get a phone call =] Love my AT&T service.
Through thick and thin I feel HTC really strives in all departments. I love having a tight grip on a phone, the sturdy feeling of an HTC; I don't know who else has unibody phones but the physical feel is always the selling point for me. So what exactly can you do with a dual core phone? Maybe load an app a bit faster in the future, true gaming after some software developments but that will be a while right? I'll have to ask my friend what he thinks of moto but I think i'm set on the inspire.
HTC is the best in total quality Hardware plus Software, the are the closest to the apple scenario out of any make. There quality control and amazing sense UI improve android dont just bog it down like other UI's add that to the amazing materials used for the hardware and there is no beating it!
I pre order the htc inspire. I have being using htc for a long time now and I had to go to Galaxy S beca se. Attt doesn't have any good android for a while and now I can't wait to get one again. Simply love the quality of their phones and the Sence is awsome.
HTC is a quality Product. not saying moto isnt but i havent had any good luck with moto either.. last one died in my arms.. no reason.. *shrugs*
I appreciate the 2 cents. I feel the exact same way, I really don't think that android will utilize the dual core for at least a year maybe more. I read somewhere that Microsoft took something like 3 years on XP to fully utilize what dual core processors had to offer. I personally cannot wait for the 13th. I will be buying the inspire on launch day and selling my captivate shorty after. I think the biggest selling point is the development. I have had to rely on the different spliced together stock roms from the galaxy s and still have never experienced a ROM build from source. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Pre-ordered mine today as well. I was thinking about the Atrix, but then I remembered when I had an evo4g for a short amount of time... and how great that phone was/is.
can you get the ATT Upgrade $50 at raido shack? cause like i could give them $50 and be done with it!
how much $$ is the inspire 4g off contract ?? 449 or 499 ?

Should I buy it?

well, sprint is offering this phone for free. are you guys happy with it? anything is a upgrade at this point, I own a HTC Hero, and am not impressed with any other of sprints phones besides this one. Does the CDMA one work with the ROMS here? I am a little confused, because for the hero there was a GSM forum and a CDMA forum, does the Nexus work the same way? thanks in advanced!
Nexus S 4G is the CDMA version of the phone.
In my opinion, I don't think the Nexus S is worth renewing a two-year contract for. You might be even better off getting a Epic Touch 4G.
Nexus S is a huge upgrade from HTC Hero, don't get me wrong but there is another generation of phones with dual-cores and quad-cores coming out next year. By the time your 2-year contract expires, you will be left behind.
For free its awesome.
sent from my Nexus S
I got it for free last month and coming from the hero, u won't be disappointed .... well except for the track ball, but u will get used to it.
I recommend that u use a ROM with cm7 aspects so u can customize the 4 main bottom buttons.
BTW sprint is also offering both the evo and evo shift for free also this wknd if u want a physical keyboard.
Coming from the hero.....
It's all good
Vs Nexus S 4G

I agree yes, but I do not need bleeding edge, which is why I've kept with my good old hero, it just works. I do light web browsing, rss reading, facebooking, whenever I want, and that is really all I need. Mobile gaming isn't a concern for me, I spent way too much on a computer for that, but I'm going to stick with the hero for now and hope they come out with a phone that is more about usability then specs (a dualcore is cool n all... but is it really needed for a phone for battery reasons? probably not.) I was considering it just for the 1ghz processor which would be double my stock clock speed now, with the same battery life give or take.
