[Forum Game] New Thunderbolt goodie? UPDATE: One of us is right!

[inline6power]

Exactly. You don't just lick the back of a processor core and stick it to a chip like you would a postage stamp and say, "voila, now this is a dual core device."

First of all, there is no available dual core snapdragon that is on the market now, so you would have to assume they went with a Tegra, in which case all software on the phone has to be re-designed. Come on guys...

And by the way, our mysterious BENefactor obviously edited out that annoying "two" riddle as to not imply dual core, so he won't be discredited once we all realize the obvious... they didn't add another core to thunderbolt. :-\

what he said.

TWO slcd screens!!

"yo we heard you like screens, so we put a 4" screen in your 4.3" screen so you can watch while you watch!"

j/k


but really what could it be? gingerbread is easier to load than swapping for any hardware.

The "two" has showed up twice now though, so who knows.

I couldn't care less what else is on the phone, this is all playful speculation. I just want my sodding phone. It's fun to dream.

^^^This I hope.

$200 instead of $250?

Gingerbread?

HTCsense.com?

2 Batteries?

Is it sad that when I take breaks from working on my thesis I read up on TBolt rumors? If my friends ever found out they would have a field day.

TWO Versions...One available in TWO Weeks, and the T-Bolt TWO available in December...

Next guess anyone?

 

[inline6power]

Netflix and skype?

 

[itsdollar]

Netflix and Skype sounds good but...someone would have leaked that.

 

[inline6power]

I'd like $200 for the win Alex.

That would be great

 

[SUB-dawg]

it's not gingerbread

(from ben) Gingerbread is for Motorola first. Sorry.

 

[ASLgeek]

I'm guessing it means that it will, afterall, be released with Skype functional and active.

+1...Skype's logo is cloud shaped

This is my bet

 

[Green_Laser]

he repeats "two" many times.

could they be announcing March Two, Two Thousand Eleven?

Netflix and Skype sounds good but...someone would have leaked that.

you could say that...but then you could also say someone would have leaked the launch date for the thunderbolt

it really could be anything at this point...i'm hoping for a $200 price point

 

[FutureTBoltOwner]

or it could all just be a sick joke meaning that as expected its launching with 2.2 (not that bennn would do that kind of thing would he >_>)

2011... 1+1 = 2...

My.. God...

 

[SUB-dawg]

maybe a 1.2 ghz processor?

 

[SFGiants 2010]

He's in finance right? So it may be price related.

$200 FTW
