Well, in the US we have these horrible 2 year contracts, but then I can get a phone like this for $199 or something like that. After having an HTC EVO for a year, I can tell you that if it had more than one core, it would not hang as much as it does, the OS and basic apps tie up that single COU alot. I am not too thrilled with the 1gb ram though, it needs 2gb (for a phone of these specs)

You need to root.

that's cool. and as for those who say that 2 cores is enough, I would like to point out that ppl once said that about many things. SD tv instead of HD, one core, one monitor instead of eyefinity. that 100 MHz processor in my first computer that played Civ1 super slowly. haha.

good stuff.

[citation][nom]jdwii[/nom]Do you really need a quad in a phone. Seems power hungry.[/citation]
Read the tegra 3 reviews. Actually uses less power. Different architecture.

Fake pic? "no physical buttons (thanks to Ice Cream Sandwich" and yet from the pic of the phone, there are clearly the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen. I'll also be disappointed if it only actually has the 1 flash. I love that my Droid X has the 2 flashes as it really helps with taking pixs in darker areas.
