Either someone is bluffing/not seeing clearly, or Josh could've gotten a review unit that wasn't updated. Unlikely in the PR world, but...? Dunno who to believe.
And since I'm too lazy to write a second comment, I'll add here that I find the Sprint design a very sexy improvement.
Yes this seems very suspect and really makes me wonder how iCult Engadget is. I have been willing to look past their bias because I like the site overall. This type of dismissal when the other data points (other sites) all point to better performance - make me consider the professionalism of Engadget's reviews.
Of course I am a fan of Android due to the lesser stranglehold that the developing company is taking on the OS. And have pre-ordered my Sprint Hero. At least I am open with my bias :-D.
I hope gizmoid it right, i was ready to buy one, provided that it doesnt work like the initial engadget review! Actually quite surprised they would release something that laggy.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Gizmodo is reporting that the Sprint Hero has an updated ROM that fixes the sluggishness.

Maybe it's Josh that is sluggish. It is 12:30 p.m. in NYC.
Or possibly he's just used to the iPhone 3GS. The phone is really fast. Impressively so.
I just saw the same thing so someone's bluffing.
looks like that is their review. Did they get it sooner than Engadget?
