just wait.....
A lot of stuff is going towards either dual core or cortex.... (or both, tegra 2)
I will personally GUARANTEE that if you get an arc, it will be outdated shortly

Kindly provide some examples of 'a lot of stuff'.
As for saying the arc will be outdated, that is pretty simplistic mate. It will only be considered outdated by a small minority of power users, if it does what you need it to then specs mean little.
How exactly will you personally guarantee anything?

I'm an electrical engineer and I do pay attention to where technology is going, as that is sort of my job.
You don't have to listen, like I said, just wait and see.
Many games/apps will be being developed that are dual core and/or cortex only...

This says it all.....htc is just a load of garbage..there phones are still not better than the current gen samsung phones
Ya thats nice and all but lack of support for the vibrant left me never ever wanting a samsung phone again. Seems like all the original problems have been fixed finally on my vibrant but touchwiz is still crap (to me) and who knows if samsung will do the same thing with the Galaxy S II. It looks to be an amazing phone but if its plagued like the first gen then ill have to pass.
Its been real vibrant community. Moving on to the g2x for a while.
Im just thinking dual core vanilla android with a nvidia tegra chip and gorilla glass.
The devs here rock.
Ill Never Buy another samsung phone again.

As far as I can see with all the phones I looked at the S2 is still the winner, and I do not care about Samsung support, since I root, edit and modify ALL my electronics. XDA , the Devs and the community at large is the only support I need. Just need good hardware, and the S2 is exactly that.

lol i'm just kidding, i find the ad cute too.
Man, who really cares about a 3000+ quadrant? I do not know what mine is but everything loads up and runs as at a very fast and respectable time on my Vibrant. No doubt that 2.3 optimizes the hummingbird cpu which would make things even faster but I believe rather than focusing on increasing quadrant and all those score benchmarks, Samsung should work on other aspects of the phone such as setting the benchmark on excellent battery life and other parts of the phone.
I love the commerical... could totally see my daugther doing this (but she is not an idiot... she would do it because I didn't give her jelly beans).

lol, thats an old video. Samsung even stated it was pre release unfinished software that wasnt properly optimized for the chipset. That was back when the SGS2 was only hitting like 1600 Quads. Every review out now for even the unfinished 1ghz (its launching at 1.2ghz) says its lag free and fast as all heckity-do-da. The 3000+ quad score is a reflection of that. No worries!!
As far as battery, its a 1650mhz battery in there instead of the 1500 in the SGS and the dual cores are supposed to be better on battery life, so *hopefully* it should improve it a bit over current stuff.
Im totally stoked for it. The phone comes with so many options and things it can do it should keep us busy tinkering with it for a while to come.
I agree it will be the best phone of 2011 unless they actually get production tegra3's out the door before the end of the year.... then it will still be the best.. just not the most powerful..

A quadrant score says it all? Quadrant has proven to be inaccurate reflection of use responsiveness. And HTC makes very good hardware. You're very opinionated, and that article is far from fact. Though it looks nice it did lag in the video.

Read countless reviews and still can't decide.
Two things putting me off. The lack of ICS and Samsung take forever to get updates out (example my old mans galaxy s2 is still on 2.3.4 while my brothers Liquid Metal is on 2.3.6) Also the fact that quad core phones will be out next year.
My being picky? How are you guys gettin on with you' re notes?
Seeing as there is one phone in existence sold with ics on it, that is kind of a tough stance to take. Also this has nearly the fastest currently available processor, why do you think you need a quad core?
I guess you could wait till they stop making new phones, that way there is nothing better just around the corner. I heard that will be next year, so I would wait.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is just get a new phone every year. until the next best thing, the note is it.

You could learn how to root & install custom ROMs, so you never have to wait for the Samsung's updates.
If you could wait for a Quad core phone then wait for it. If you can't, then the Note should do you well.

I know how to root so if ICS was ported I could do it myself. I'm just being picky and making up excuses to not buy the damn thing I think.. I do want it but the Galaxy Nexus went back cause I couldn't stand the volume bug and the crappy build. Just looking for opinions really to see if this device is really worth it and if the size is a problem. Trust XDA users opinions over Engadget and other tech sites.

samsung arent too bad with updates, it could just be your device is locked to a region or carrier that doesnt update regularly.
my note was locked to the PLS region. it took 1-2 weeks longer than the other regions to get 2.3.6, but even so, its quite a quick update considering its a carrier branded device thats only been out for a month or so.
quad core phones have their strengths and weaknesses. the only advantage is in multitasking. you wont be able to use the raw power for a single app though aside from nvidia tegra 3 games. most PC apps are only now beginning to support multicore, i'd say android will take a fair while as well. when devs make apps, they make them so they will run on a wide variety of devices to maximise earnings. most people using android devices are still using single cores, devs will focus on maximising compatibility and improving performance on single cores first, so on a quad core phone, you may have one or two active cores with the other two doing pretty much nothing.
by the time the software catches up, you'd be stuck with a 40nm tegra3 that would burn your hands when a newer 28nm or 20nm cpu will be available and would be much faster and run much cooler.
i'd say just get a note now, enjoy the snappy performance of the apps samsung have optimised for dual core and the gpu and have fun knowing that you'll be using all you paid for in the phone rather than only getting half your money's worth with a quad.
As I know wildfires will not come out next year. There are coming some bastards 2x2 cores 2 at 1.5-1.8 and 2 low MHz cores so the battery live is increased when you don't need high usage of the cores. So don't think there will be much difference from the 2cores that are in the market atm. Maybe a better you on them will do the trick as now ics will provide hw acceleration.
Just my thoughts about that.

XDA features such a good news for those of us who own SGS as their main phone and still believe in its power.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-one-v-rom-ported-to-the-desire-s-and-desire-hd/
For those who know little about this phone, it features a single-core ARMv7 processor (codenamed Snapdragon S2). Although it's sporting as little as 512MB RAM and a 1GHz clock, it can run ICS out of the box.
Maybe some good devs could look under its hood and discover the secret of its stability? I know, it's a pretty different device but the point is, it's a mid-range device featuring the latest OS from google (plus Sensev4 and Beats), while our phone, which probably is better than this, will not EVER.
I hope this thread can stay up front, so that some strong willed dev can read about this. Also, everyone feel free to post your impressions.

It looks like all previous posters misunderstood the OP. And it looks like the OP misunderstood Samsung.
When Samsung said that the Galaxy S wouldn't be receiving ICS because of hardware limitations, what they really meant was that they didn't want to spend the time and money on supporting a device that no longer makes them any money (really, how many people are buying a GS over a GS2?). We obviously already know that ICS can run just fine on our phones, hence the multitude of ICS ROMS available. Samsung just doesn't want to waste the money on a nearly 2 year old device.

XDA Dev(s) proves that the SGS is more than capable of running a fully featured SGS2 ROM (excluds fancy panning features due to a lack of gyo sensor).
I loved my Arc S... Gave it to the shop i bought the beast Htc One X Quadcore from and paid the remaining extra. And oh my god no words... so if i start i might not stop telling all about it... so no disrespect my Arc S was awesome too.. and Htc One X is Miles Better!
So just wanted to share and say bye bye Arc S!

No its an awesome timing, I prepared myself asking htc's customer service before even buying one x few days back, they admitted n said all this problems were in april and old imported date handsets, and all have been taken back.. and the issues are fixed in the new ones being imported. I purchased the may imported handset, no wi-fi issues not even one point dropped sitting little far in other room and in low battery aswell, no banding problems, no flickering screen, no signal drops, nothing! . Played all the apps in it... it works BooOoOomMMmm!!
I'm envious. I like the One X design after the arc's. And I'd definitely take it over the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Could never get used to their ugly TouchWiz interface.

True. Don't know why anyone would need a quadcore phone. The single core intel processor beats most of the dual/quad core phones. Too bad that's its bootloader is locked.
@Galileo,
It's just a sign how far technology and miniaturisation has come. Prices have dropped drastically.
A few years back, this would have unimaginable. A few years back, the Samsung Jet was being hailed as the fastest phone whizzing away at 800MHz. It's laughable now.
Plus, it's all that computing power in the palm of your hands. Computers are not able to compete in terms of portability offered by a phone. (I'm not talking about productivity, just portability). It's small enough to slip into your pocket.
From here on, developers are going to optimise their apps to utilise the multi-core CPU. A few years down the line, I'm pretty sure everyone will have moved to dual-core and beyond.
@finch.****break,
Intel core? For our arcs? LOL! What have you been smoking mate?

you just know the way to go would be to make a handset you could make yourself or have custom made, just like a pc upgradable components like ram, cpu ,graphics card screen,camera maybe different kinds of os like one for gaming one for business etc. but in reality you wont get that until way down the line if at all , just minor upgrades to sell more handsets and make more money, we can but dream.
I have arc lt15i and love it.was looking to get xperia ion when it goes international if it goes ever,but i'm thinking to stay with my arc till some better sony phones come's out,every year they have newer phones.So i'll stick to arc for now.

http://news.yahoo.com/leaks-suggest-playstation-nexus-phone-way-165700862.html
Here's a blurb:
This May, a report by Amir Efrati in the Wall Street Journal said that Google would be partnering with multiple different manufacturers at the same time for its next wave of Nexus devices. More recently, a leak reported by the Japanese-language site Android Noodles listed three different Nexus devices that were slated to be released soon, including a Sony Xperia Nexus. And with the recent release of the PlayStation Mobile marketplace on Sony Xperia phones, two of the biggest brands in tech might be about to collide.
If Nexus smartphones are "pure Android," how could it be a PlayStation phone?
A "regular source" to the Android and Me blog says that upcoming Nexus devices will allow manufacturer customizations, so long as they're put in a separate place and made optional.
In this case, the PlayStation Mobile store isn't preloaded on any devices right now, the way that its precursor and other gaming features were baked into the Xperia Play (and the way carriers usually pack bloatware onto non-Nexus phones). Instead, owners of Xperia phones have to visit a Sony website to download the store. So an Xperia Nexus may be able to use PlayStation Mobile without breaking Google's pure out-of-the-box Android experience.

Very excited!
Dear god I hope this is true.
If Sony releases a Nexus device for US carriers, I'd buy it without a doubt.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using XDA Premium HD app
It is an interesting development. I do like this push in Nexus development to bring more pure Android experiences and encourage manufacturers to make their pieces more optional.
I'll be more excited if we actually hear about a new Playstation-certified phone with gaming controls, though (EDIT: Note that the above article gives no indication of whether or not an Xperia Nexus would have integrated game controls). I'm hoping Sony is just waiting to find the right time when they have everything ready (Hopefully by the time my 2-year contract expires next Fall). Being the only phone with gaming controls gives us a bit of anti-fragmentation in that regard - developers who target us aren't targeting a slew of devices.
Meanwhile more and more devices are coming out Playstation-certified without gaming controls - even the HTC One X, which I think it is cool to see happen on another brand. I just hope this trend doesn't mean there won't ever be another phone with integrated game controls... 'cause beefier hardware would be nice at some point.

If its a Nexus, im pretty sure it would have Galaxy S3 rivaling or even beating specs..
Doubt it'd have a gamepad. I don't think a nexus device would be aimed at gamers.

LG Optimus G Nexus interests me more...
No gamepad no party. :silly:
Sorry guys but the next nexus (by lg) will be similar to the optimus g but dual core and 2gb of ram, no gamepad.

Guess there just isn't a big market for it yet, and rumors about Android 4.2 are saying that it will have a center where OEMs can make their skinned ROMs available while the user can update their phone with the pure Android versions whenever they want. So, different manufacturers are gonna have their own Nexus devices. You can google Android 4.2 and read up on the rumors, allegedly from a source known to be reliable.

What gives you even the most remote idea that it'd be dual core? Name one source. One. Seriously. Bet you can't.
Quad core Qualcomm Krait is LTE capable, and LTE compatibility was the only reason we didn't get quad core phones sooner
If it doesn't work out at least the Xperia Play is still going strong; no I'm not being sarcastic either: FPSe touch-pad support, Playstation Mobile, high-profile games like the Bard's Tale, support from great dev's like Hyper Dev Box. If everyone stopped supporting the Play in unison I'd still have years worth of gaming left on the device.

Well, I applaud you for actually having a source . I'm gonna keep believing in the quad core specs that many other news sites detail though (sorry for snapping at you as well, I've kinda been testy lately)
