List Of Top Devices Shows It's Not About Clock Speed

Lastly, the front facing camera might seem like a joke but if you have a family I assure you it is not. I would love to be able to call my wife and see her and my kids faces instead of just talking to them. If you are just some young kid without a family yah it seems stupid. For me though, its a big deal. I am holding off buying a new phone until more Verizon phones have the front facing camera.

I like this, but why can't the rear camera be used for this purpose, and the use of some mirror device to reflect the screen back to the user, just until something better comes along.

Someone actually invented a mirror addon for the iphone 3g a while back, only problem was, there was no software to support it for picture calls at the time.

Dual-core processors are supposed to be more efficient. As nano micron technology get's better, our processors get smaller. This is probably why dual-core processing is entering the mobile device market so quickly.

Smaller processor = lower power consumption.

My phone lasts an entire day of whatever kind of use I do. Light use and its sitting at 80% when I go to bed. Heavy use and its 20-30% at bed time. I have no problem plugging it in when I go to bed.

The writers biggest complaint with the DroidX was lack of a front facing camera. I can't wait until that **** dies off. Its a useless addon that jacks up the cost.

As for software glitches, i never experienced any when I was on stock software.

A day is nothing though when you are on a business trip. I spend 50-60% of my day running computer control app like Tonido so that I can use my phone to alter my Excel files. That drains battery fast. I also stream Pandora the entire day, which does not help.

Pretty sure Pandora is your issue there. And when traveling, is it too much to take a USB cable with you? I personally use Logmein Ignition and have no issues.

As for the front camera, I do have a wife and two kids. Though i do not have to travel for my job, hearing their voices is enough when I am away for something else.

I would like more speed so that I can watch a flash video not a slide show.

Flash runs just fine for me and a lot of people i know of.

It runs okay if the video is optimized but a very small amount of videos are optimized. If theres a video in the browser and I try to watch it 80% of the time it plays with horrible fps and thats if it even plays because most of the time my browser closes because android is being overloaded and wants to close apps. This has happed on all three of my droids.

As far as flask goes, I do believe that the D1 can not use flash to its full potential. That does not mean that is does not work it just lacks fluidity(if that is a word). Once you put flash on phones with the higher processor, you do not even notice and hiccups.

I agree with a post someone placed earlier, they should put some solar panels on the phones, like calculators that at the least help reserve power when the phone is idle. Then 2ghz processors will be truly outstanding and last at least 15-18 hours a day on average for all users, light and heavy.

The responses in this thread demonstrate the main problem with cell phones these days. You want something that can stream music, edit excel files, chat with a loved one with voice and video, play video games, and have internet access. THEY HAVE THAT, IT'S CALLED A LAPTOP. THEY DON'T GET 48 HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE EITHER.

People expect people to do the exact same thing and more than laptops with better battery life in a smaller package. If they'd start being a bit more realistic with their wishes the 24 hours of talk time might become a reality. Then you're probably looking at an actual solid workday's worth of heavy use.

I guess I'm a little old school, in that in my business travels I carry a laptop, cell phone, extra batteries for both an MP3 player, and chargers. I've never been on a job or in a country where I haven't had access to a power outlet, or not been prepared. Then again I guess I'm a little old school in that I expect out of machines exactly what they're capable of. If I screw up and forget my extra extra battery and I'm not able to make a call or access a file, its MY fault not my cell phone or laptop's fault.

Then again that's me I'm a middle aged man, that choses to be accountable and uses statements like "I forgot my extra battery" rather than "MY cellphone didn't have the ridiculous battery life i expect out of it for no legitimate reason.
