Gordon Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:56:30 +0000 http://phandroid.com/?p=5906#comment-66262 I've determined that I was wrong in the case of the Hero. The Hero is using a Qualcomm MSM7525, not the OMAP3430 I thought it was using, so drop the Hero from the list I quoted. Which means the Droid is the only faster *Android* phone in the list, and it wasn't out when this article was written, so, the article was indeed correct at the time of publishing. But, as the market gets flooded with choices, this issue is only going to get more complicated. To make sure you're truly getting a faster device, don't get stuck on clock speed, look at the core!

Gordon Sun, 06 Dec 2009 06:28:32 +0000 http://phandroid.com/?p=5906#comment-66182 The Moment's 800MHz ARM11 processor *is not faster* than the 600MHz Cortex A8 chips found in the Hero, Pre, Droid, etc. This is like comparing a 3GHz Pentium 4 to a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo. Clock speed doesn't mean anything. Clock for clock, as I recall, the A8s are about 40% faster than the ARM11 cores.

That definitely makes sense. I know my iPhone 1st gen was pretty laggy, but it was decent. These phones offer more, so not too concerned. @Furret - another compelling point Tough call... Hero or Moment. hmmm... we just need some side by side specs. @KBlack

HTC is where a lot of the Root developers devote their time. I'm only a themer but I like being able to mod freely. I dont know of Samsung, Moto or any others will be rooted(etc) in order for me to do that. This is nice but unfortunately I will likely be waiting for HTC to drop something as powerful as this.
