That's some very sexy looking hardware!
And I'm definitely excited about Google Wallet, though it will probably be at least a few years before a full solution is rolled out where I live...
I don't get the craze for dual core phones though. Dual core CPUs in phones are complete overkill for a majority of users. So why sacrifice the battery life for it, when running the right software can basically make up for most of the difference? I know the Prime is probably aimed at the minority who are likely to notice the differences, but overall, I don't get why everyone seems to care so much.

Dual core CPUs have a very minimal impact on battery life. The bigger impact is the larger screens and LTE.
Dual core simply makes it faster and the latest OS takes full advantage of that 2nd core.

Hah, that's what I get for not doing my homework, I just figured you had it figured out. 
Even so, I still don't see much point in paying extra for a dual core CPU. The Galaxy S II is remarkably smooth, but even the HTC Radar (with its 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM), one of the new low end WP7 devices, is fairly smooth as well.
