i have officially made my decision not to get this phone... been lurking for days on the fence... i will now wait until the next release....
It's your loss. This phone is a ton of fun. I've loved everything about it as I've been playing around and getting things set up today.
Thinking that newer will be better in a few months will probably lead to more disappointment for you. Battery performance could be WORSE on the dual core LTEs with High Def displays... Until it comes out, no one will know. (Well, maybe Panda knows...)
Instantly responsive web browsing, and movies that load and play almost instantly is crazy cool. Going to try out some streaming TV, live sports, and radio stations soon. (Both my house and work are in 4G LTE areas, so I lucked out living near the city.)
This is awesome. I'm not tied to sitting at a computer to browse the Internet. I've got the entire Internet in my pocket 24/7 with speeds that seem just as fast as my cable modem. No wires. No having to lug around a laptop case.
The DLNA wireless video streaming sounds cool, but not sure when I'll get a chance to use it yet.
