Why would anyone get into a 2 year contract with a 3g phone?
Why would anyone get into a 2 year contract with a 3g phone?
Because I don't mind waiting a few extra seconds for websites to load. Because I don't mind waiting an extra minute for a podcast to download. Because I'd rather have the extra few hours of battery life and not have to carry a charger with me everywhere.
That is totally not true man. The OMAP4 doesn't come close to the SGII's processor. Have you seen the browser speed comparisons against the iPhone 4 and quadrant scores put up by it? It blows away ever phone out there, and will do the same to the Bionic. It won't even be a contest. The OMAP4 really isn't that powerful, the 4G speed is the only thing the Bionic will have going for it. The SGII is pulling over 3200 in the quadrant, the OMAP4 is doing like 2500. Where did you see that it was faster? I haven't seen it.
iPhone4? The iPhone4 is over a year old and doesn't compare to the OMAP4 or Exynos processors. And Quadrant is basically a useless benchmark. You have to go by something else. Of pretty much all the benchmarks I've seen, the OMAP4 is very narrowly the fastest SoC on the market right now.

You can't take the results of one single benchmark when you are comparing processors. Go on to Tom's Hardware Guide or Phronixx and look at how many benchmarks they use to compare computer processors. There are always multiple benchmarks testing multiple aspects of a processor.
Just saw engadget saying sprint version fcc approval with wimax. Could that mean vzw might have lte?
No 4G, no for me, I will be up for a new contract this December and live in NYC "s 4G area" , hopefully HTC has something nice coming by that time, since I am not to fond of touchwiz or motoblur, HTC sense kicks both to the curb.

And you can have a processor that benchmarks off the charts, but when you couple that processor with other pieces of hardware and software configurations it could come out running like a silicone turd.
So here, let me drag out the dead horse so I can beat it again. Until the bionic is released and we can see some REAL WORLD comparisons between both phones, you simply can't back up a statement like "the SG2 is going to blow the Bionic out of the water"... especially when the two processors in question are so close in specs.
And really, why in the world would you want to?
Why isn't it enough that you like the SG2 and think it's a cool phone in its own right? So what if LTE is a dealbreaker for some of us? It doesn't invalidate your choice of the phone, it's just a personal preference for those of us who want LTE. There are plenty of other reasons why you might want a SG2 over a Bionic.
Man, some people just get so protective over their choice of phones and so invested in convincing everyone else that they know better. It's cool to get excited about it, but at the end of the day, it's just a phone.

I agree that Sense is heads and shoulders above the rest. It adds so much to the Android experience. I just don't know if I have the patience to wait for a LTE dual core HTC device (other than the TB). There's nothing on the horizon and I'm so ready to move on from my D1. But I may be able to wait.
