They did 800 MHz for a few reasons:
1) Saves money
2) Saves battery life
3) No need

There is no need for 1 GHz of epic speed of epicness. Why? The damn iPhone 4 runs on an 800MHz processor. It's not just the speed, its how you use it. What's the use of being 10 inches long if it curves to the right and I can't get all the way in? Gimme a straight 8 and she'll be happier.

Agreed. Those "awesome 1ghz" smart phones have horrid battery life compared to the competition. In addition, the bottleneck isn't at the phone end.. it's on the networks that run these phones. 3G is getting pretty long in the tooth, especially for the services that are available today. If the G2 can provide competitive battery life while also allowing for higher bandwidth, it should be a hit. After all, the average consumer doesn't care if a phone has a 1GHZ core or a 500mhz core. All they want to know is:
1) Can I get fast internet?
2) Can it run all the apps I want?
3) Can it stream video?
4) Can it last a long time?
5) Does it look good?

Not necessarily in that order...

my G1 phone was horrid if i had 3g enabled not much better on 2g (basic like an Iphone)

but lasted 2-3 days with an 2200mHa bat with 3g enabled (default one was 1100mHa i think)

if they used an Dual core slower CPU the phone should be quite fluid (on the HTC desire i have now far better then the G1 thought that one is stuck on 1.6 for the time)

smartphone companys should fit bigger bats to match its intended use

So she enjoys watching you get phukkd??!?!!

[Most wives probly do enjoy watchin their man get phukkt once in a while] !!

With that said: 1. I do apologize, but when the pins are set that straight someones gotta throw the bowlin ball.

2. On the possibility you are a sys admin/special ops instructor with the ability to find my ip number and hurt me 1000 diff ways ==I AM SO SORRY.

3. I agree with your sentiments concerning the 800mhz. Which brings the next question...

I do realize that ARM is a fabless chip design house from England and snapdragon is (I believe Qualcomm???) based on ARM. The other major chip in phones is TI who also licenses ARM. (blah bllah blah just so you know that I know)

IS THAT 800MHZ MSM7x30 AN ARM CHIP?? Because an 800mhz ARM I'll take over a 1.2Mhz not based on ARM anyday. Indeed I would prefer a TI/ARM over a (Qualcomm??)/ARM or any other ***/ARM.

To anyone who can answer that last question, THANKYOU.
To quiksilvr, thanx for NOT hurting/killing me.
