"Mr. Schiller is saying that the speed bump the 4S gets from the new chip makes it competitive with devices that can use faster 4G wireless networks. " How exactly does that work?

This is a not-so-clever allusion to the fallacy that hardware speed equals network speed. Admittedly, they didn't lie. Its true that a better chipset will prevent the processing hardware from being the limiting factor here, but its also not sufficient on its own. What they said is true: the chip will allow it compete with PHONES that USE 4g networks (in terms of processing capability...they left that out). What they implied is incorrect (that a dual core phone on 3g is as fast on a network as a 4g phone with dual core.) In summary, The only element of 4g phones with which they can compete is irrelevant with respect to the argument for LTE's speed benefits.

I love the mill, such a vat of pure unadulterated techlust.

Letters to the editor....

Don't delay the Nexus, why would you do me so? What I want to know is who's in charge around here? Who do I gotta smack to get an Ice Cream Sandwich?

^4.6 inch display! Yes!

 

[Trusstopher]

4.6" is good and all... but will it be enough:rofl3:

 

[tgyberg]

Well if one of those 7 inch tabs did texting and made phone calls, I'd have one!

 

[Trusstopher]

Very true... I think the 5.3" Note would be amazing... heard it wasn't coming to the states, then I heard it was, so I don't know.

Man, it's only clocked to 1.2ghz. I hope it's bootloader is unlocked so we could OC it to 1.5ghz or higher. Not that 1.2ghz isn't fast but I was looking forward to running 1.5ghz stock. Still a beast of a phone though.

I think the only noticeable difference between 1.2 and 1.5 will be when you brag to your friends that you are running at 1.5 ghz...

Lol. Touche, but I want those bragging rights.
