Agree....I'm a tech junkie myself but I really love my BB as well and have a hard time to part from it. I'm off on the 6th so I'll be @ the Verizon store bright and early to check out the new Droid. Who knows, maybe I will and maybe I won'tI love my BB...I don't think I could ever part with it. I will however make a trip to VZW on launch day to play with one b/c I'm a bit of a tech junkie myself

You're as picky as a drunk woman in a gay bar, aren't you... :P11-05-09 02:45 AM - That's how I felt about the Droid. I was going to try it out and wait for the Passion to come out and compare the two.I'll be checking it out, but I am waiting for the Passion to come out before I make a decision on which Droid is right for me. You guys know how picky I am.
Until I read this:
Had a change of heart?Qualcomm chipsets have ALWAYS been slower and less performance oriented then their counterparts. This was always evident when you'd see reviews of a CDMA vs GSM version of the same phone. The GSM version performed better then the CDMA because the processor in the chipset was usually slower (not always based on clock speed MHz alone, but rather core design).
As a rule of thumb, anything Qualcomm will have some slight disadvantage over a comperable chipset from another manufacturer. That being said, Qualcomm's solution was the new Snapdragon 1GHz proc, but the core design on it is also not optimal and it runs at a higher clock rate to do the same as something else that multithreaded could do at a slower clock cycle. The bad part about the Snapdragon is that it sucks up power like there's no tomorrow. Rumor has it that the new Sony X10 Android phone has had its Snapdragon proc dropped to 768MHz to combat some of the power issues, but people are still saying the issue is still there.
Honestly, I want Qualcomm to disappear off the planet as their chipsets are crap in my opinion. Unfortunately we may not get this luxury if they dig their heels into the LTE development projects.
I just hope "they get" why their chipsets are POSs at this point in the game. No CDMA Blackberry ever behaves as well as a GSM one has in the past... point blank.11-05-09 05:32 AM - lol, well, maybe HTC will surprise us... but maybe not. The chance is there, so that's why I'm waiting. No reason to jump too soon.That's how I felt about the Droid. I was going to try it out and wait for the Passion to come out and compare the two.
