I think it will hold two crowns:
1) best performance of a phone, EVER
2) worst battery life if any phone, EVER
Lol
Lol I would not doubt that one bit. Hopefully they developed it to be very efficient with the battery. Or at least slap a massive battery on it.
I'm sure thats being reserved for CES. I sorta expect this thing to head to VZW first, but thats just a gut feeling based on knowing that they and LG seem to have a better relationship than the other carriers. Samsung seems to favor Sprint so you've got the Orion to look forward to, cause I really dont see them having a variant of the Moto Etna. Its enough of a shock that its going to AT&T first as the Olympus.I wish they could tell us if America will get and if so who? Moto Etna is going to at&t or verizon. Nexus S that has GB is going to Tmobile, wheres the love for sprint

Battery life is mostly going to depend on what kind of apps and games you like to run dynamically effecting whether that second core is lit and burning juice or clocked way low in the background. I expect the 2X to have similar general use run time to a samsung fascinate.
You're assuming android is optimized for dual core. I'm not so sure it is. It'll be interesting to see how resource management goes. Kinda like when dual core first came out for computers.

I think you guys should read up on how Tegra 2 chips work. The two cores work together to split processing loads, frequently under clocking when not needed, to conserve battery. It is likely that if you use your phone the same exact way on a dual that you do on a single, you will see both better performance and longer battery life.
