Hopefully Sprint will get a version. I know it's gsm, but I hold out hope for a dual core snapdragon.
I still think the Galaxy phones with the HummingBird and GPU will own for quite a while. Technically your hero is dual Core already. Just one core is really tiny and slow (modem core).
By the time that comes out, something better will be on the horizon like it is right now. Phone technology is advancing fast. I'm going for the galaxy.

HAHA, it would be able to demodulate the wireless signal faster, thats about it lol.
I assume it could probably be done if the kernel does anything with it...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm 33 years old. My first computer was an Tandy 1000. My next computer was a Pentium 166. I remember when processors were coming out every month or so, edging the cap up just a little bit higher. I remember them having a starting price worth more than the car I owned at the time.
So pick a phone, buy it and be happy with it for a year. If you're always waiting for the next best thing, you'll never buy anything. If you always get pissy when you buy something and something better comes out, just stop buying.

I want a phone that will run full flash. The rep told me the hero could do it, but when I got home, SURPRISE!!! I'm eligible for an upgrade in october, but I'll wait until whatever replaces the EVO comes out.

I'm probably going to hold out and wait for the HTC OMGWTFBBQ.
im actually thinking about giving the evo a second chance now that 2.2. is out for it. i now have an extended battery for it too. i won't touch a samsung phone.
Why you would consider the Samsung over the evo. The battery life is not much greater on the galaxy S series. Got a few co workers with both version (vibrant, captivate). We compare and contrast every day. They are all great phones but would not swap none 4 the other. Plus the evo got that 4g along with a front facing cam only if u were thinking of the epic 4g.

I can't imagine needing a dual-core CPU phone, how much quicker than a modded N1 or Evo can you really get, not saying I wont buy one when they are out but still..
The Sprint Galaxy S has a section on XDA... I might go for that. I'm not picky about what brand name the phone is as long as I can crack smack hack and whack.
I'm 25 and my first computer was a commador 64. I didn't get another until Pentium 4 was out. That's a big jump. Yup always something a little better around the corner.
I can't wait till I can run Wine and play my game on my phone.
As far as saying you don't need faster than the evo or n1, it depends on what you are trying to run. Try putting windows 7 on that old comadore. What's the famous quote by bill gates saying computers would never need more than a few megs of ram?
And I wouldn't want to get a Samsung either but I do like the proc/gpu and physical keyboard

I'm up for upgrade in December from my Hero, but hopefully this rumored HTC "Sabor" is coming out around that time..
Supposedly it's the "Evo 2" and sounds VERY nice.
Link missing, since I can't post it... Recap below:
5. HTC SABOR- HOLY CRAP. Do you remember me talking about the HTC Scorpion, a rumored 1.5 ghz device? Well Sprint gave that one up. Sad? NOOOOO! Instead they are getting the HTC Sabor (code name ofcourse) that is a 2ghz (or possible dual core depending on who you talk to) device to compete with the 2ghz moto device coming to Verizon wireless late this year!!!! THANKYOU SPRINT?! This change was recently made as this phone will be the successor of the Evo and will hit shelves either Q4 2010 or Q1 2011. This is all dependent on the moto release date. Be looking for an over 1000 res screen (possibly that 1270 res Google is allowing), android 3.0 (gingerbread), 2 cams one being a 10 mp, 1080p recording,& kickstand =]. This device will essentially be the Evo 2, and is rumored to be the gingerbread flagship device. Naturally WiMAX is expected. More on this one hopefully coming soon.

I really wish we could have the Incredible on Sprint...
been talking to alot of people and i get mixed responses. some like that **** faced windows phone 7 that i think was drawn up by a 2nd grader.
some want to wait for the next gen palm pre, which i may look into as well depending on specs.
epic or evo... these two are on the top of my list!
or wait and see what other droid phones sprint comes out with by 2011. aka hero2 or desire.
so anyways what do you think might be your next move from the hero?
I don't want an Evo..too damn big..and I don't want another clunky phone with a physical keyboard after getting used to my touch keyboard on my hero,coming from 5 TP2's....So..I guess a Desire would be nice if Sprint ever gets it,or a Hero 2 if that ever comes out..A little bit bigger screen would be nice with HD capabilities along with a 2g processor and 1g of memory

Yeap. I'd probably ditch Android in favor of a new WebOS phone too, as long as the hardware wasn't absolute crap like the Pre. That's the only reason I went Android actually, because of the damn hardware on the Pre.

Well.. I'll get whatever next-gen HTC phone comes out. My upgrade date isn't til April because I splurged before my upgrade date to get the Hero on launch day. I'm gonna get whatever replaces the Evo eventually.
Check these out this is why I held off on the the EVO or the other phones from this years second quarter. I cant wait for this.... as for the power think of the dual/quad core laptops and netbooks they have, they have power on demand and then the processor scale the freq back when not in use.

There's an old saying you should remember..
" It's better to have it and not need it,than to need it and not have it.."
Once you go to a larger screen,you will need more horse power under the hood.I have a co-worker who has to have the absolute latest thing out when it comes to cell phones..The guy has about 10 of them and a couple on different carriers..He has a Evo..and is getting a Epick as soon as he can..that's just hoiw he is..but he thinks my rooted Hero is da ****s and is ever bit as fast as his Evo the way it is stock. While I do like the large screen on it for viewing things,to me it comes down to the form factor of it. I just don't like how it feels in my hand and feels ungainly to me when I try to make a call on them..But hey..to each his own as they say.. I don't know what you can oc a Evo or Epick to,but I guess that's a option too if you need to bump it up some

The Evo doesnt overclock much. The highest kernel Iv personally seen was 1.2 something and most ppls phone would freeze when clocked to it. Mine can run right under 1.2ghz stable.
I've been upgradable for a while now. Nothing has really caught my eye. I'm waiting for a stock Android phone. I have a feeling my waiting is in vain.

Well, if it is the Vibe4g, i'll be damn well be pissed #NeverAgain at Samsung.

Now its an i9000 with 4g
I'm not too worried, I went on my desktop from a single to duo core, then a quad, and now a 8cpu they are coming out toward the end of the year a 16 core......
The point is they will always keep improving and dole out the upgrades bit by bit to max their profit......... that's the capitalist way...... and just think-- We taught them how to do this......
I ll get a duo core when it comes out, but until then, I love the vibrant. It is a great phone

Well said!
When vibrant came out last year, I bought it not because the rumored 2.2 coming-soon update, but for that the SAMOLED screen is FABULOUS, just as any visual animal would do. So when the next Galaxy phone comes out with dual core and SAMOLED+? Hey, I'll be in the line.
I love the vibrant. With KA6 updated through Kies Mini and voodoo lag-fix, I'm a happy man.
Can't wait to see how the dual core phones chew up the battery.
These new dual cores look sweet, but I'm going to wait until the next gen that comes with Honeycomb.
We know that this current crop of dual core phones are going to release with an OS that doesn't even properly support dual core CPUs. So basically a ton of first adopters are going to buy these phones and fine they're only marginally better performers (if at all) than the current single core phones.
And then you're going to read the incessant whining on XDA about "how could they release a phone without an OS that properly supports its greatest hardware advantage," and then when 3.0 does drop, it's going to be weeks, if not months, of whining and hairpulling for the update or port.
Not me. I'm going to wait for a dual core that ships with 3.0, probably later this year. That way I won't end up buying another phone that is gimped stock.
I guarantee, if you buy one of these first gen dual cores, you will be disappointed and suffer anguish as you keep hitting F5 for any news about a Honeycomb update.

100% agree. Not going to buy one tell the next sets of Dual cores come out. with at least HC.
I can't wait for 8-core 128 bit cells phones so I can do scientific computing while I'm waiting in line for coffee!

I don't think it will come out with a faster cpu about 1 gig just dual which in sense will be faster. It will be more for multi tasking I don't see myself using 10 or 20 apps at once to make use of it.

Hello everyone,
I am in a dilemma of sorts. Currently, I own the HTC Droid Eris. While I enjoyed this phone for a while, it is really starting to show its age. Currently I am running the GSB gingerbread rom, and while that made it a little more bearable, my patience for the phone is running thin. It has problems playing a lot of the games out there right now, so I am itching to get a new phone.
That said, I have an upgrade available, and I was wondering if it is worth it to get the Droid X. My girlfriend has one, and I really like that large screen of it, and it seems like it is a pretty snappy phone.
My question to you is, should I get the X? I was looking at the Incredible 2, and I like that as well. Is it better?
Or should I wait for some of the newer phones that are coming out?
Thanks in advanced! I am confused on what I should do.

Personally I would not get the DX it is reaching its EOL soon. I would get a newer phone and one with an unlocked boot loader. That being said look for a phone with the features that you prefer ie touch or hard buttons, screen size whatever you prefer.

If at all possile wait. The DX is great but it is starting to fall behind the newer phones. Considering it is a two year comittiment, start on the current technology, not the technology from nearly a year ago.

No it doesn't. The droid bionic was going to have a dual core but it was decided not to release it. The specs of the DX2 are exactly the same as the DX, except that it has more RAM and a 2gb sdcard instead of the 16gb

Actually, they're going to release the Bionic, just not when they said they would. They're "enhancing" it and releasing it possibly this summer or fall, though they could just stick the Bionic name to the Targa we've been hearing about too.
Another note about the DX2 is that while it's specs may be pretty good, dual-core and everything, it STILL lacks one very important detail that the Bionic was slated to include...4G LTE. The DX2 is a no-go on 4G, don't ask me why. Personally, I wouldn't buy a phone these days without a 4G radio. Maybe if 1 year contracts were around I would CONSIDER it, but buying a phone now with no 4G and then having to wait 22 months before I can get another (subsidized) is just not practical.
Get any phone with a Qaulcomm CPU, it's far better than anything Motorola is selling.
I have nothing against Motorola or Samsung (Samsung CPU's are better than Motorola, but Samsung is reluctant to issue updates when bugs/issues are discovered, I don't know why).
The Qualcomm CPU's even the older ones are superior in performance even at lower clock speeds, they are doing a better job engineering than either Motorola or Samsung.
I'm stuck with a Droid X for 2 years - I'm not complaining, I didn't pay for it, it does have a very nice screen, but if I were to buy a new phone it would be one with a Qualcomm (snapdragon) CPU.
Good Luck.

I do not believe that Outlaw Biker Knew that the G2x is MUCH faster than just a dual core Motorola processor would be. It's a dual core Nvidia processor and a single core NVida is almost twice as fast as the Motorola.
My best recommendation would be an HTC phone like Thunderbolt. It's newer, 4G and very fast, or if you are trying to save $, then go with an Optimus - both are Android, the Thunderbolt costs more and the Optimus costs less, but both outperform my Droid X.
before my top device comes out, better ones are coming out or at least rumored too...i understand technology but this is too fast for me, jeez at least let me buy one first before coming out with the next better thing...

ps im talking processor speed btw
No thanks. I'll pass on a pantech product.
Is computer hardware or phone tech moving faster
Im not sure what's worse, pantech or kyocera. I think pantech phones would be alright if the UI was better.
Faster doesn't always = better.
Pantech & TFT kinda detracted from the wow factor too.
I oddly like the name "Vega Racer". Why? I'm scared to ask myself.
they look like crappy iphones...IMO..
You need to stop looking at it that way and be happy by how fast the market is going. Would you prefer it if we're still sitting on 500MHz processors like in 2009?
No no not at all, I hear your side too, it just that I would like to get my Evo 3d befirevits outdated by q better processor

The evo 3d uses the same chipset.
I said this a couple of weeks ago. By the time the 3D comes out there will be 3 or 4 more phones with better specs set to drop a couple weeks/months later. Look at the Samsung phone that just leaked on Tmobile.. the Hercules.

The cpu inside the Hercules is the same family as the dual core Snapdragon found in the Evo 3d.
It's not just hardware you have to look at, it's also software. I'm not a huge fan of Sense, but Sense is pretty smooth.

Your point was by the time the 3d is out, there will be faster devices out. You then referenced the Hercules, which will most likely have near same performance of the 3d, but probably borked support from Samsung.
Interesting...but pantech? No thanks.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, might be same family but isn't the 3d at 1.2 dual core?
And I totally get your point, I feel outdated just three months later. Same reason I'm holding off on a tablet...ipad is a perfect example, couple months after spending 600 or so my friend feels like an idiot just a few months later he's considering another 600 just cuz of the stupid camera...

Get over it. Buy a phone you like, enjoy it, and get past the need for having the latest and greatest. Phone envy is a *****. Either that, or man up every 6 months and fork out the dough for the newest on the market. Technology will always be 2 steps ahead of you, that's just the way it is.

Truth.
Not sure this is exactly a new thing, across the board as a whole. Always something better around the corner. And what's there to be bothered about something being better than something you don't even own yet ... ? Whether or not it is 'entirely' better or 'marginally' better.
And talk about not wanting to buy a Samsung device ... but a Pantech?

Yup the evo 3d is undervolted to 1.2 ghz for minimum battery drain but will be overclocked soon enough, just look at the g2 overclock threads to see the potential qualcomm chips have.
After a year with my evo, I believe I can easily wait until next year to upgrade since every phone coming out has specs bumps and nothing else . Just because a better spec laptop comes out doesn't mean to run out and get it.
It will be hard but I'm sure ill hold off on the evo 3d and get the next gen evo next july.
What's the point of this thread? The EVO3D has a better screen, higher resolution, and although the clock speed is 1.2 gigahertz, it will easily be able to overclock significantly higher.
The G2, as someone else mentioned, has been overclocked up to 2 gigahertz. A G2, which has an older chipset and has a stock speed of merely 800 MHz.
