I'm nearing time for an upgrade. I'm still sitting on the Moto Droid 1 running an old 2.1 user mod, so no flash, etc. Once I'm not lazy I'll flash to factory to get froyo.
But all that nonsense aside, what's the new hip phone all the kids are waiting on being released these days? I want something fap-worthy that won't be obsolete for at least 2 or 3 weeks after its release. |
If the rumors are true, the soon to be released Droid2 Pro/Droid2 World Edition. It is supposedly going to be clocked at 1.2ghz. |

Big whoop. You can already overclock the old 550mhz droid to 1.2 if so desired. Mine sits at 1ghz all the time. Seriously though that's . At this rate, next year, octo-core, 5 ghz phones. Calling it right now |

lol but the difference is that the cpu that is native at 1ghz is faster because it takes less to do that. Overclocking also eats your battery like no tomorrow. Been there, done that (Wizard and Rhodium). Won't do it again. |

not to mention the increased heat output and accelerated deterioration of your hardware. |

Indeed good sir. Car-charger is most necessary. Can't go more than 4 or 8 hrs without needing to plug it in if you use it often. I've gotten used to bringing my cord with me many places.

That's what temp monitors, task managers and 12-month upgrade deals are for ;) |

yeah sure, until your provider won't cover your fried phone because they discovered you were using a custom firmware that voided your warranty. |

Warranty be damned. 12-month upgrade deals are part of the contract. Totally unrelated, I think :p |

i dunno, maybe; though i've seen some tricky "waranties" like that before. same logic as the ing retarded-ass "remove this sticker to void your warranty"-type deals that i see on a lot of electronics. something as trivial as a sticker totally s you. almost positive that using non-stock firmware voids your though. |

The next iteration is Gingerbread, but it is unknown what that version bump will be.

It technically does, but it is easy to get back to stock....usually... |
