Will that have a big screen or will it just be around the size of the incredible?

all i know about the phone is in that article, and it only mentions that it could have a high def screen. that of course is just a rumor, we got to wait till they release the specs

Will be waiting for sure now

I'm curious what you think a 2 ghz processor in a phone might be able to do better than today's 1 ghz... unless you're planning on rigging up your phone to launch a guided missile?

You might need a car battery to get through the day.

The battery life on that would be ridiculous, unless they've revolutionized lithium ion batteries while I wasn't looking.

From what I understand, the new chipsets are supposed to have lower power consumption than the old, even with the increased clock speed. Therefore, we could feasibly see a 1.2-1.3ghz phone with better battery life than devices currently available. Clocking it to 1.5ghz or above would probably yield comparable battery life to current devices.Obviously only time will tell.

From what I understand, the new chipsets have lower power consumption than the current chipsets, not to mention the fact that the processor is nowhere near the power hog as the radios and screen.

The new chipsets clocked at 1.2-1.3ghz could yield better battery life than current devices, and clocked to 1.5ghz or above could yield the same as current devices.

Again though, the processor is hardly the power hog in smartphones.
