The dual cores were available for purchase already this year..the newer 2nd gen snapdragons were available last year..they just cost more..manufacturers though choose to buy whatever gives them competitive performance for cheapest price to widen their profit margins...To be fair unlike Android M$ requires the hardware to be certified and optimized for before implementing it..so a dual core may be pushing it..BUT they really have no excuse for not releasing a 2nd gen 1ghz snapdragon similar to the one in the mytouch 4g..the processor as been out for over a year..and there really is no excuse..



It wasn't silly..people were looking at HTC Gold..and since HD2 came out over a year ago who would expect M$ to go with more of the same?
People thought M$ would work with hardware providers to ensure that they were ahead of the curve



CE7? you mean CE6...




Carriers still control updates :/...as for Qualcomm..they have good processors..the problem is either they price them too high, have too much licensing on every little tech(HTC drivers anyone?)..or manufacturers are being too cheap and trying to cut corners or up their profit margins..Samsung on the other hand produces their own processors and other hardware so they dont have to pay the middleman fees and put it in their devices cost effectively..

How much would you pay for a new OS on top of the line hardware??? The friggin TP2 set me back 400 out the door. I'm not paying that kind of money for any phone from this point forward. MS is keeping the price point down especially considering the demo they are after is my teenager and my 20 year old. Not buying them a 400 dollar phone. This is business... Not a game of keep the nerd boner going.

Why else do you think we are still getting 1500 mah batteries... There are much better batteries out there. There are also 120 gb memory cards. But all that fancyness comes with a price. A price I sure the hell will not pay. I'd rather go to a different platform.

You think you got a great deal? The epic is nice... Not 400+ out the door nice though.
You must have had to sell alot of meth to get that.
