What's a worthy replacement?

im not convinced by those htc one x shots.
they look like theyve used optimal conditions or staged them to get the best out of the camera

my desire can look that awesome depending on lighting

EDIT: do some research online suggests this device is a sealed enclosure meaning no battery pulling or replacement.
thats not good for us modders

well they dont like people modding too much, they only started to unlock the bootloader after people were threatening to boycot their products.
If you leave it unlocked but make a device that cant do a battery pull when it hangs. it scares people from making that jump as you cant return it to warranty if its stuck. i suppose you could leave it powered on for 48hrs till it drains it self flat

Is it just me, or is all this talk about dual core/quad core overlooking something? Surely it depends on what you plan to do with your phone?

For example: If you're into heavy gaming or perhaps video editing then yes I can see the advantages of having multiple cores, but I'd rather use my PC for that. On the other hand if you're like me and just use your phone for calls, texts and surfing the web, then it's not going to make that much difference really.

My desire is only a single core and does everything I ask of it with ease. I certainly have no complaints in the speed department.

For me, a new phone should be stable, have expandable memory, good battery life and have the probability of a good dev community.
