It's not like I'm promoting another phone or anything else to buy instead, in fact I believe I asked a question as to the validity of my assumption. What's the point of making a thread and only showing one side of an opinion? I too have been waiting, and waiting to get a new phone. This phone intrigues me, I just wish it worked as advertised at point of sale, it would make the decision to buy all that easier. I'm just irked that they promote a feature that seems that it'll take yet another software update after purchase to implement, but unlike Froyo doesn't say dual core support (coming soon). You'd think after the Epic fiasco, this topic wouldn't be so touchy. It's not like HTC never held back anything in their history before, say dedicated graphic drivers or anything, but I do admit that the issues with the EVO have been quickly fixed, I'm still shocked about them fixing the fps cap after they originally said, "it can't be done" and give them mad props for pulling that off.

Well the OS and therefor the dalvik vm that runs apps doesn't yet have dual core support in 2.3 some of the developers have updated their apps with software to take advantage of dual core processors for example the game dungeon defenders (and i assume the tegra zone games too). Moreover 2.3 has been out for what? almost 6 months? that means the next version will be out in less than 6 months for sure, hell we'll probably see a glimpse of it @ Google I/0 in 2 weeks. plus your a super user to you don't really need to wait for updates from HTC do you? i just hope the camera or a locked bootloader doesn't stop it from getting cm7
