Where are you getting your information?
The msm-720
1a (GSM) is Qualcomm's
updated versions of the 7200 and 7500 that circumvent the alleged Broadcom /Qualcomm patent issues--that's why they are xx
01. The "
a" does mean it has a smaller die enabling greatly reduced chip size, that is the only difference with the msm-7500a for Sprint's versions.
Regardless, the "issues that crippled the Mogul" have zero to do with the Broadcom/Qualcomm patent issue but instead has to do with how the pipelinging of the graphics is enabled/disabled as well as an underperforming secondary processor (arm11). Read
more here.
Will any of that be fixed in these devices? Too early to tell. But Sony confirmed with WMExperts that they have purchased and enabled those drivers for the XPeria. HTC would be wise to follow suit.
