this guy on engadget:

hardware is only as fast as the software its optimized for. android so far is not made for dual cores. also, android is bloated, and the multitasking memory management is horrible, which means itll still be slow. my samsung focus is faster than this phone, and it has a snapdragon. thats because wp7 is fully optimized for that chip. android is not optimized for any chip, therefore it will always be a slow laggy pos.

I won't argue the fact that you may be right that android is not optimized for multi-core, multi-threaded operation. That being said, even were Windows Applications when dual and quad core CPU's started making their appearance. I would be willing to bet that the next release of Android WILL support and be optimized for multi-core, multi-threaded, opearton.

OMG, just from the info that's out so far I gotta go change my drawers, I just had a nerdgasim:unsure:. Sorry for the extra info but thought y'all might like to know...lol. Can't w8 to see when 4g will hit my area, might just have have to do an early trade in.dancedroid

yeah well verizon's taking away the ability to do that lol so thats gonna have to be done completely out of pocket with the full retail price...sucks

pretty upset to hear this really only does have 512MB RAM and pretty depressed that it doesnt have the fingerprint reader..damn you at&t!

Engadget just ran a quadrant on atrix and a staggering 2616 with unfinished software I presume

By comparison, android spin ran a quadrant on the thunderbolt and hit 1926 or something close to that

I think I heard 4:00 EST for the Verizon portion of the show. That's the one I'm primarily interested in.

In the end though this device is a fantastic piece of hardware.
