Not yet. It can be underclocked to save battery life, but until we're able to load a kernel that supports overclocking, we're stuck with these sluggish 1Ghz speeds.

really? 1ghz isn't fast enough for you?

even when/if the kernal can be changed overclocking will only go but so far, the D1 was underclocked stock so it was able to overclock much farther then any other phone currently. I think the snapdragon's are able to only go to like 1.3, i imagine ours wont go much farther

It's not about being fast enough, its about if its as fast as it can be. What's the fun in running at stock speeds? Squeeking out another 30% would be pretty awesome.
