Over at HF, Winston25 has finally broken his silence:
"1735mAh is a huge battery, why is anyone complaining?
And it wasn't downgraded, remember the Etna (old Bionic) was a different phone. For Targa, the biggest battery that can fit in the industrial design was choosen.
And please, for the love of everything stop with the stupid display comments. Seriously, it is beyond old. Especially since I know what the issues are and that over half the people complaining can't see them. Under a microscope is BS (what, do you carry a microscope in your back pocket). It is just amazing what you can see if you know what to look for and look really hard. It is like TV and the 120MHz displays, and now 240MHz displays. 60MHz was more than good enough for most people, until they were convinced it wasn't.
On the processors, can't we just leave it that the part is OMAP4? Manufacturers always bin parts, it is part of the normal manufacturing process. Explaining what it does and how it works is a really long email. Do some Google searches and learn if you care that much, there is a lot written because hackers wanted to understand it so they could figure out how how they could overclock their PCs.
Just wait, I expect to see some leaks pretty soon from the Verizon testers. There always is. "
Hopefully very soon, some of those Verizon testers' leaks will start pouring this way!
