Perhaps the reason for Verizon to underclock the speed is to extend the battery life without having to resort to bulking up the weight and size of the phone with a larger capacity battery. Actually, it would be nice to have a utility to dynamically configure the speed so, for example, if I'm not running anything graphics or CPU taxing I can set it to miser mode to extend the battery life. Six hours into the work day with three hours left and with some VPN and RDP testing I'm at 6/10 on battery. With that theoretical CPU utility I can set a custom VPN/RDP profile to use 60% CPU to extend battery life.
