I don't know, I think I need 2 cores to smoothly multitask.

I own a single core phone and at times it chugs or lags when switching from Browser to Twitter.
Please go to my YouTube Channel and at least watch one video or subscribe! Every bit helps! I review headphones and random things.

Higher speed cores and better graphics chips should be the focus IMO

I'm all for faster hardware/more cores, my Galaxy S II runs so much better than my original Galaxy S.

It's like the megapixel race all over again. It's not the amount that counts, it's how it's used.

Expectation:

- Holy cow! This phone has 12 megapixels!

Reality:

- Holy cow! It still sucks!

First shalt thou take out the Holy Hand Of Choke™, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Of Choke™ towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

I think it's funny that you, HTC Fan, have Motorola and Samsung devices, but no HTC THIS is why it's stupid to use a product or manufacturer name as a username.
