Also by the looks of that video posted by KarlE, smartchbench as I figured accounted for the higher resolution by running the test in a lower resolution.(being wvga) hence being a fair comparison unlike Quadrant which ran them all at native resolutions.

Motorola did say that a while back, but they also confirmed the Photon is locked. So who knows what they really plan to do. If they really start unlocking and selling unlocked phones, then I will consider buying one of their devices. Not before then though.
As for those tests, it was pretty much what I have been saying all along. The Sensation finished the test faster and still had a lower score. I can't take any benchmark seriously if the slower device scores better.

In that video, the Sensation finishes the Quadrant significantly faster yet somehow scores lower, and the Sensation scores better than the Galaxy S 2 on the Linpack.
Smartbench running at a lower res isn't any better. The device still has a qhd screen. The app may only be filling so many of those pixels, but the device is still doing something with those pixels. And the Evo 3D will score even better than the Sensation.
