"What they don't tell you about dual core phones is that you only get dual core when its on the mains (its a directive built into the CPUs, not the phones). How many people want to use their phone on the mains ?".”
What field exactly is he an expert in? What CPU manufacturer in their right mind would manufacture a
mobile processor with that directive?
As for the Galaxy S II, looks pretty damn nice actually. I'd be intrigued to see some info about battery usage and whether the dual-core processor is a bigger hit than a single-core. Also, my Desire at the moment zips along like a dream, so day-to-day I doubt I'd feel the benefits of a dual-core processor, though the slimline form of the phone and the slightly larger screen might make this a "buy" for me when it's released. TouchWiz doesn't look amazing but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a stock ROM can be shoved on it...
