I doubt 98% of the people with a smart phone even push it enough to make it lag noticeably. I know a LOT of people that didn't even know their android had google maps/gps navigation until I mentioned it to them.
how the hell are you going to spend 150$ a month and not know what your device even does? :blink:
Anywho, I couldn't see quadcore being very helpful. My single core does just fine at stock clock speeds of 1ghz, even when I push it it only lags due to ram (512). However, having said allll of that, yes I see no reason why verizon won't get a quad core phone for the sheeple that can't even push their dual core phone to its limits.
