Ok good points But even with a Super Amoled saving battery...battery tech just isn't were it needs to be to support a phone with those stats and keep it pocketable and usuable. Battery tech doesn't seem to move as quickly as the rest of tech. So I will say all of those specs on one device in the first quarter of 2011 is unlikely. Hey I would love that phone and would be it in a heartbeat but it just seems too good to be true is all I am saying.

I agree about the battery tech not up to par yet. But at some point there has to be a break through in battery technology. Who knows what these brilliant MIT engineers have in store for us. We are in beautiful times.

I agree. Not to mention with the massive battery consumption a 2Ghz processor would take. You think people complain about battery life now...
So better is a screen falling off some EVO's and a 30FPS cap b/c HTC won't buy the proper drivers. Gotcha.
BTW, HTC is no better when it comes to updates. Anyone who's owned a Hero or Droid Eris can verify this.

I'd rather have a 2GHz processor than a dual-core 1GHz processor. Dual-core is really, at the end of the day, just a hack. Imagine:
Intel dev guy: Sir, we can't make this thing go any faster.
Intel sales head: Well, stick 2 of them in there then. Twice the speed!
Intel dev guy: Ugh. If you insist.
At least, that's my take on dual core

Phones due out this time next year will have to compete with things such as the iPhone 5, and whatever else is out next summer. The iPhone 4 already has 32GB internal storage. There's a chance a 64GB version of the iPhone 4 will surface between now and next June, too. Why wouldn't you want your phone of next year to have 32GB of storage (at least), too?
Only a month ago Motorola was saying they hoped to get a 2GHz phone out by as early as the end of 2010. If they're even able to get that out by the end of 1Q 2011, you better believe everyone else'll be sporting a 2GHz core by the end of 2Q
I don't think it's that far fetched at all.
My man, you are a candidate for one of my favorite apps - the Tricorder. The following quick vid leaves out that you can tap above the compass and get a readout of which GPS birds in the constellation you're picking up (with signal strength of course), the location difference between the cell tower method and GPS and that the solar view is selectable for visible, UV, corona and magnetogram views - all while showing recent history for proton and electron emissions.
Tricorder
And while I'm in the neighborhood, if we're going to talk speed, c'mon Google, give up on Chrome OS already and just give us the freaking browser ASAP, if you please.
Chrome is THAT fast!

indeed 
FTR, I think you are probably one of the best posters on this forum, you always post links backing up your references and really have a good way of explaining things. i would have never ever known about how the EVO uses my friggin bloodflow to improve cell reception otherwise.

yall are crazy if you think this is real. So many of these blogs just get fed BS and they post it. wow. and then people believe it.

There wont be...HTC doesn't really do iterations.
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. There will always be newer better phones out there.
We'll have the Galaxy 2, EVO 2, iPhone 5, Droid X2. I see these phones and many future phones to battle it out for many years. The EVO is only a month old and its already obsolete. Phones refresh so often nowadays.
Dude what are you talking about? I don't think you understand the concept of multiple cores.
There comes a point where increasing the clock speed is no longer efficient/possible, this is where multiple cores come in. This is why we don't see 7ghz Pentium 4's back in the day of the clockspeed race, it just wasn't possible. We now have quads running at 2-3ghz. Smartphones will follow the same path and incorporate multiple cores.
Just as clockspeed was saturated, multiple cores will be also, in which there will be a new tech advancement beyond cores.

HTC does in fact occasionally do iterations. So far only in the WIndows Mobile camp but nothing says they won't in Android as well (Touch Pro2, Diamond 2, HD2)

They dont? Touch? Touch Pro? Touch Pro 2?
Touch Diamond? Touch Diamond 2?
HD? HD2?
Are you sure about that?

First Quarter 2010 ended 3 months ago, so I think it is highly unlikely
Now, to be real, there is always something new, bigger, better, faster coming out. If you can afford to update every few months, more power to you. I would think an EVO on ebay in 6 months may still draw a good price, so you can offset some of the cost of buying a new device. Depending on the carrier, they might give you a little price break or if you have multiple lines, you might be able to get a new device to replace another older device, etc.

I dont know about you guys but I keep on reading about the Galaxy 2 at other sites. And it seems real to me.
Samsung Galaxy S 2 | DroidDog Android Blog

Let's take a look at my stunning expose as to how the tech sites feed off of each other's rumors, foisting it off as news:
http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/112594-gingerbread-android-3-0-evo-2.html#post1049417
The Galaxy S exists. If you followed anything or did any drilling at SamsungHub.com (my earlier posts) you'd see that Galaxy is the class name for a LOT of variants being released worldwide.
The thing being Holy Cow'd about here is a rumor that came from a Russian site.
It's entirely possible that they somehow got inside info.
It's entirely and equally possible that it's a total hoax.
It's entirely certain that with the passage of time, we'll see phones with specs like that and beyond.
But please - no references to the bottom-feeding tech blogs, okey dokey?
They prove only that 1) some people can't keep their shirts on, and 2) that those ad-clickthrus are mighty important to them.
They do NOT prove that such a phone actually exists.
Mmmmk?

Lets be realistic.
Yes, this all looks good but I can't even imagine how bad the battery life would be for the proposed spec.

That speed for a mobile processor would suggest that it's from Samsung's new 32 nm process plant. They're already doing memory with a 20 nm process.
The numbers indicate the manufacturing process. Smaller numbers there mean the discrete, microscopic components are even smaller (therefore using less power) and closer together (therefore faster).
My Evo is using 65 nm process components; existing Galaxy-class phones are using (so far as I know) 45 nm process chips.
1 millimeter (mm) is 1 million nanometers (nm).
So - I have no doubt that this mythical phone is using bleeding edge semiconductor technology - right down to it's amazing battery life!
Hope this clarifies.
And I hope this clarifies my position on this act of speculation.
I ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE!

The wafer thickness and use of OLED are helpful towards battery life, but nothing compensates for the power hungry features of these smartphones (especially this one). Real life usage and the fact that it will be treated more as a toy than a normal phone, will mean a poor battery life regardless of wafer fab process or ever more efficient panels. Power has always been the stumbling block of mobile technologies, they need to develope this properly to accomodate the ever increasing power hungry devices... (Bring on fuel cells!)
