I'm wondering why they are having quad core phones. They are really not that useful if you ask me. Instead of bringing out more expensive and powerful phones ; they should optimize the os.

Actually.. i love it.
The point of having extra cores is to optimize multitasking for all processes.
Background processes how have threads to make use of.
Well, eventually they will replace pcs... And I'd love to own one quad core phone with some gigs of RAM

I don't think they optimally use the resources they have yet. But i'm glad that the technology goes ahead our ability to give it value, nothing bad can come from this. It's always good to have a reserve you may exploit.

Lol If you buy the DHD you're going to be amazed by the screen. I thought I knew what was coming but holy c***p when I got the phone I was so surprised by the screen size It was like holding a 50" LED TV in my hands So I see it like this: if you really use the keyboard a lot for SMS'ing, browsing etc. buy the Desire Z but you're going to be blown away if you buy the DHD if you don't have such a big need for a physical keyboard
Hmm.. So tempted... Stop making it HARD!!!!!!

It's quite common on laptops. They'll advertise like 2gb but windows will show a lower value. The difference is allocated to video.

I will have my Droid 3 tomorrow! I am upgrading from a rooted Incredible, and I am super stoked! My husband got a Blackberry Bold with his upgrade because he wanted a physical keyboard, but with the BOGO for the D3, plus the fact that it has a slide out keyboard and the HUGE QHD screen, he is coming back to Android!
Honestly, the only reason I was rooted was to overclock, but there will be no need with the D3 (for now). I researched the benchmarks on this device, and they are amazing!
Anyway, here I am, from the Eris forums to the Incredible forums, and now on to much bigger and better things in the D3 forums! WOOOOO!

I looked up stock benchmarks for the G2X, and I've gotten a few Quadrant scores that are close to it (only about 20 points less at my max, and 90 points less at my minimum), and of course I'm still stock since there's nothing for our phone yet. So yes, this phone is indeed a beast. And the battery isn't that bad, with a decent amount of usage today (downloaded a few apps, played Cut the Rope for about 30 minutes, texted quite a bit, made a quick phone call), I'm still at 80% after almost 11 hours. Choose a better (or worse, really ) phone to argue against next time please
EDIT: Looked up some Linpack scores for the G2X, the Droid 3 kills it in both single- and multi-threaded modes
Lol... I had to do it.
Lol I love getting things stirred up. I just thought I would aggrivate a few people. But really, my cuzz phone dies in 5 hrs. Must have been a bad batch.

You like getting people aggravated? Why would you post a comment just to tick people off? Relax.
I hate hearing rumors, I really do. But I'm going to start one because mine has some merit to it. I have a friend of mine that works for Verizon. I told him I wouldn't state his name or what "department" he works in when I made this post. I was talking to him on the phone just about 45 minutes ago about the Revolution and how we're dying to get Gingerbread and how some people are actually getting rid of the Revo for fear that it will never get GB. Here's the conversation that took place.
Me: I just really wish we'd get it already. It would help out with development so much.
Him: Dude, whatever you do, don't get rid of your Revo.
Me: Haha, I'm not but why?
Him: You guys should be getting the soak test soon and as long as it goes good all Revos will have it by mid or late October.
Me: Don't bull**** me, how do you know?
Him: Trust me, it just came through an email 2 days ago. I meant to call you but I couldn't remember if you had actually bought the Revo or just waited for something different.
Me: Damn man that's awesome! You better not be bullshitting me.
Him: I'll put it this way, I put my paycheck on it.
Me: That's awesome man, hey can I tell people about our convo?
Him: I don't care, just don't use my name or where I work.
Me: Kinda HAVE to tell people where you work or I'll look like a retard hahaha.
Him: Oh ok but don't tell them what department I work in or anything. I already almost got fired a while back for putting out some info about the Bionic hahaha.
Me: Alright cool, hey thanks man. You have no idea how happy a lot of people are going to be when we get GB.
The rest of the convo was filled with nonsense talk about times past (and girls haha). Just thought I should share this info with you guys!
Loving this. I want GB!!!
I'm speechless

Soak testing is testing a system with a significant load over an extended period of time to discover how things act over a long period.
What he is saying is there are Revo's out there with 2.3.4 already installed on them. Verizon employees will carry and use a Revo on a daily basis with 2.3 loaded to see how it performs, what glitches arise etc...
If you play video games its kind of like an beta test only its not generally open to the public. During this time they also test the push out of the update to the phone to make sure everything will go smooth when they start pushing it to thousands at once.

Unfortunately he is in no position to get us a leak.
He works for tech support and received an email stating to be ready for possible high call volumes in about 2-3 weeks as the Gingerbread soak test begins for the LG Revolution. That was about all the email said.
Again though, this is in no way going to help us get a leak. Sorry guys.

Might be worth having a stock phone if it got the OTA update with gingerbread in it.
Think i'm going to check out Revolt 1.4 tonight and go back to stock in the morning.

I wouldn't worry about going to back to stock just yet. According to the email, the soak isn't even going to start unil about 2-3 weeks from Monday the 12th.
Not sure how lg does it but you can sign up for these soak test with motorola they will even send them out to a few people who have gotten root access and have gotten back to stock as close as possible without having root access. check the droid 3 forums they just either did one or just sent out the invite to join the soak test.

Throwing more cores at a device does not necessarily increase performance, either, unless the application base and operating system takes full advantage of them for multi-threading.
Case in point: Most hard-core games on a PC that came out over the past 5 years will run the same, if not better on a single or dual core machine as they did on a quad core. What really makes the difference is architecture, clockspeed, application architecture, and most importantly (assuming the apps use it) GPU implementation!
Assuming all apps were hardware accelerated on an Android, you would care more about the GPU then you would the CPU. Being that a lot of apps are not hardware accelerated, or take advantage of aggressive multi-threading, you may actually see a performance drop on the Bionic depending on the implementation of the devices core implementation (much like the scores from the Atrix showed).
The hype of more cores = smoother experience is bunk. It's just a spec and numbers war. More cores = possibility of more apps running seamlessly at once, but only if the architecture is there to support it.

I can't honestly see this as a viable concern, but it's pretty interesting nonetheless. If I have this phone in 2038 though, something must have seriously went wrong.

Major issue. Easy to rectify, but if not addressed, all our electronics will not recognize years after 2038...
Just like y2k, could be a major issue, but it won't be because people recognize it and will fix/patch it. 64bit computers already mitigate this, but phones, watches, etc. all would need to be 64bit as well...
Major problem is that most devices have one 32-bit register to hold time. Ether need to ADD another register to get two 32-bit registers to hold time, or increase the single register from 32 to 64 bits.
or...?
On my ST15i the calendar it's up to 2100. But if i try to set an event using that year, the date goes back automaticaly to 1970...
Non issue; once the world ends in 2012 there will be no need for smartphones.
In all seriousness though, I'm sure we'll have another Y2K scare and they'll manage to fix it rendering all the people who stock up on water by the jug and jars of pickled eggs feeling empty.
Until next time..!
