Problem is, this already happened once the phone came about. People are letting their actions dictate their thoughts. Is a 1.2 processor really that big of a difference vs 1.5? no. I laugh when you have people over clocking i7's for what reason?

Don't knock it until you've tried it on a dual-core phone with a large software stack running. ;)

A 25% speed bump on a mobile dual-core processor is nothing to sneeze at, in terms of being able to switch apps and transition quickly.

I use my phone for business, not games or fps scores - I have found that, to me, that difference matters and results in less mental interruption because of fewer visually off-topic lags - and for me, that leads to an increase in productivity.

I only want to notice my work, not how well or how poorly the phone is doing it.

As far what the processor speed is - I only need my phone to be as fast or faster than me when I'm in a hurry.

Your mileage may vary. ;) :)

I would take an unlocked Prime over a locked Spyder/RAZR anyday.

It comes to a point where improved specs are merely incremental until software development can catch up.

That being said, if Prime is delayed until next year and Spyder is around the corner, that's a different decision to be made. My Incredible is on its dying legs (constantly rebooting), so I will probably only last until November before upgrading. I was banking on the Galaxy 2 to come to VZW and have been saving my upgrade since July, but have restrained myself from going to the Bionic (thankfully). I can't wait forever, though.

But yeah, head-to-head, I'd take the Prime at this stage of the game. Something tells me Samsung is going to announce it, then release it very shortly afterward. If they announced it now, it'd give Apple all the time they need to look over the hardware/software and prepare a legal battle to stop its sale.

Joy.

Even if they announce Razr on 10/18, it won't be released until late Nov. Personally I don't see anything would sway me to it from Prime. qHD SAMOLED pentile screen, 1.2Ghz OMAP 4430, gingerbread, locked boot-loader, Blur UI, etc. It's not really on par with Prime, more like slightly improved Bionic.

i agree with BLD. with an Oct 18 announcement, i think we'll see the RAZR at about the same time as the Prime. when the Spyder/RAZR was initially rumored, i was figuring a Dec (or late Nov, at the earliest) release. but, i think it's coming in a couple weeks, now.

nhindian, i generally agree re: unlocked vs. bloated and Blurred. but, Moto has been promising unlockable BL's. and, given the timing of this announcement, i would venture to guess that the Spyder was Moto's candidate/submission/prototype for the Nexus (as the Vigor was HTC's). so, the Spyder could come with an unlockable BL.

an unlocked Sammy device vs. an unlockable Moto device - that's much more of a toss up, imho. and, the Spyder will get ICS, too. i've just always been a big Moto fan - so that's why i'm going to wait and make a side by side comparison.
 
Han, I know you've read all 5361 posts like I have. You storming out now would be like leaving in the third reel of an epic movie... you KNOW you gotta see what happens next and how it ends! We all love ya anyway :)

Hints of next year's phones do nothing to pull me away from the Prime. My OG Droid is WAY overdue for retirement and she's NOT, repeat NOT, gonna wait until summer 2012 to see what the new shiny is. By then, hints of the winter superphones will be out. It just never ends! Well, hopefully MY journey will end on November 3rd.

At LEAST for a year or so...

Agree - and also it doesn't have the proper language of "company confidential" that you would expect (I also am a corporate drone for another company and there is pretty universal language you'd see on anyione's internal presentation).
 
BLD said:
You mean it's not on par with the Prime you dream of? We have no idea what the Prime will be. It could very likely have the same processor and it's rumored to have a HD pentile screen as well.

And why would it take them over a month to release the Razr? Typicaly when Verizon has a release announcement the phone is only a couple weeks away. If anything since we have no release information at all for the Prime it could be the end of Nov. That is if it's even coming to Verizon since all we have on that is rumor too.

Did Razr pass FCC already? I haven't seen that yet. If so, I can see the possibility of releasing within couple of weeks of announcement. But most sources before said Razar is supposed to be out around holiday season.

And if it's releasing so soon as you say, why there is still no solid spec on Razr? Most sources said it has qHD screen, 1.2Ghz OMAP4430, so I'm going by that. And most of all, it will have gingerbread and Blur UI even if hardware is close to Prime.

Wow. I mean that in a good way. Best laugh I'll have today. You're so funny dude.

So think more next time when you type next post, cause next time it may be someone tougher than poor, little jungle cat. Re-think your sense of humor. Preaching me to go sleep isn't sweet. Dude.

You're rude posts are going more and more untasty. I don't think it looks mature. Is there any way to slow your mouth down, just a little bit?

I noticed you're jump to the throat if someone doesn't agree with your opinions. Think, man! Think! No one is trying to hurt you, just stop laughing at peaple's opinions.

Jungle, you don't need to take Han seriously, he's just playing. It's probably hard to understand that sometimes when English isn't your native language, but I haven't seen anybody insult you. It helps to have a "thick skin" where you don't take it personally when people write inflammatory things.

Yes, I understand it. Maybe your american sense of humor is quite different than in my region, but if someone here told me anything like Han did, could be sued. It sounds like he is laughing at me, and this is mean.

I would not take it so personally. Thanks.
