Whenever a new technology (let's say a new mobile processor) is announced it takes at least 6 months before the first products roll out, and at least a year before that technology is wide-spread and used frequently. So, Snapdragon was first put in a device in Q4 2009, right? So that means we are at the point in time when the technology is widely used. That also means that we are still several month before any new technology comes to the consumer market. And we know that Sprint is rarely the first to have something big like a brand new processor (although the EVO and Epic do not conform to that statement as they are top-of-the line as far as specs).

Last time I read the Pre 2 was said to have a TI Omap...but either way it makes no difference..as its coming out this year..HTC 7 Pro is not...

Also EVO has the old snap dragon processor too..the ones that have the new ones are myTouch HD, HTC Lexicon, Desire HD...but at the time it was ok.



I don't see anyone switching from an Evo to this either, but how does Evo have better specs?

this year, try this month the pre 2 comes out before wp7 its due out late oct try again next excuse for wp7 pro lol
