This is the only feature that matters to me out of the ones you listed. This is actually cool... As far as the rest - High end dual core processor may be needed for android phones but iOS and WP7 are better optimized to do most taks and don't really need to take the battery hit of a 1.5 ghz dual core CPU. 8MP camera sounds nice but is meanigless if they use a cheap lens, limited light sensor and crap autofocus which is what most cellphones use. As for 4G, most major cities will be lucky to deliver 3 Mbits of data to your phone with full bars. Far cry for 4G which probably won't be the standard speed for another 4 years. |
1) agree on NFC chip. I'm really stoked about google wallet.
2) dual core is on newest iphone, ipad2, and will be on next series of WP7's and androids. Additionally, you're smokin' crack on the rest of your comment. Android is just as efficient and optimized as ios or wp7. Only issue android has is the additions some manufacturers make... but that's the benefit to me as it adds a lot of variety as well as a developer myself I can set it to work the way I want. Additionally, there is not as much of a battery hit as say what you get from the larger screen or LTE.
3) true... but i have yet to have a newer camera phone that doesn't work perfectly for my use. I'm not a professional or out to get anything more than random family shots. My fascinates 5MP camera and the BB phone before that have worked perfectly. So I'm sure the 8MP in this will do even better.
4) Verizon has LTE in quite a few cities already and it exists in my city. By end of year it will be in almost every major city in US. So its definitely a plus. My buddy with a 4G phone now is faster than his home connection. (granted home connect could still be upgraded, but meh) Point is, its a added value for when you want to use data. (you can turn it on and off)
