New Droid Razr! So Soon?

A new droid razer codenamed droid razr maxxis now in verizon's listing. A little soon after the original, my guess is they are upping the screen to a 720p display as it seems the current standard. a nice phone to look forward to. the current razr is amazing already.

But quad cores are far too close to invest in a potential dual core. what are your thoughts on this and what are your speculations on the modifications done to this phone.

Plus the tegra 3 is not an architectural jump, just more cores. Dont expect apps to be taking advantage of quad cores when they dont even need dual core, a tegra 3 only provides better multi-tasking nothing more. An architectural jump isnt happening that soon.

I see quad core as useful for a tablet, not so much for a phone to be honest.

And as for the topic I really dont like this trend of the "weekly best phone" :?, the companies really need to keep a non-complicated porfolio of smartphones. These sort of revisions only confuse the consumer.

It's basically the Chinese Razr, it has a 720p screen and 13mp camera. And I want to say the battery is a little bigger to accomadate the screen, but I could be wrong. Can't remember where I saw this info, but it's not made up (by me anyway)

Even in the HTC camp the incredible S is better than desire HD. :)

See that little toy car chasing you... its got an artillery built in there to hunt you down. :P If my desire HD was so bad they wouldn't officially be releasing sense 3.0 ( n.b. this was only available to top tier phones due to hardware constraints) on it, sense 3.5 is lighter on the pohones and a little prettier with animations hence why i got it on my DHD, but none the less, it would still work beautifully. Also desire hd is one of the first phones getting Custom UI treatment from developers.mystic_knight

Desire HD had really good processing power for it's time and it still holds well today but it's display is really average and so is the camera despite being 8 megapixels on paper.

I don't know if this new droid will be worth it though, im hoping its something amazing.

really...what is the point of dual and quads in phones expect for better games? do they serve any other purpose? Windows phone 7 says "hi, k thnx, bai!" to dual cores (it to, does not see the point).

It's going to be marketed as the Droid X3.

I got one, glad I held off on the Razr, only real difference from what I've seen it doesn't have as large of a camera bump on the back and a better battery.
