- Quad core will not impact apps so much as battery life. Quads will smoke the current devices in juice consumption.
- 2GB is more future-proof than 1GB.
- Bloatware is easily removed if you root and freeze.
- Great point.
For me, it was never about ICS so much as it is about a big, HD screen with no buttons. I think that's why the TP is so appealing to me.
If it doesn't drop before the TP, I won't be getting it probably. Not to "teach Verizon a lesson", because one person isn't enough to even cause a small ripple. I just know that CES is less than a month away, and I'm off contract with Verizon now, so I'll get to see what's coming down the pipeline not only for Verizon, but also for the other carriers that actually care about releasing phones in a timely manner.
If there is a monster coming out, I'd rather plunk down the ETF for my wife's line, or maybe even just get my own line somewhere else and live in a divided household.
I'm so fed up being Verizon's hostage.
