Just a question.

I have never been on a phone contract my whole life. I usually buy my phones full retail because I hate being bound to the contract.(T-Mobile/Sprint)

I really don't see why AT&T and Verizon won't use the Sprint/T-Mobile model? Own your phone and pay monthly for your service. I only say this because it seems like all the powerful phones are only coming out to Post-Paid and these manufactures and telecos are bias against people that Pre-Pay. Sure Tmobile gets the HD2 and Sprint EVO. But I would like to have more choices as well.]]>May 25th 2010 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/

you didn't get my point.
If you really think about it. I think most people in the America rather own their phone at full retail then be locked down on a contract. simple. Tmobile and Sprint realize this. Why can't the big two? Well I guess people that want to pay $110 dollars iPhone and you don't even own your phone yet vs paying $69 dollars with a paid for phone on sprint EVO no Contract. See my point. What would you choose? When it comes down to it is that your paying extra 40 dollars for map coverage. sms and internet are "basically" the same. is it worth it? If you have the money sure. I just want choice.]]>May 26th 2010 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/The main reason T-Mobile & Sprint got into pre-pay is because they weren't doing well competing head-to-head with VZ and AT&T on contracted service. It really goes back to the fact most people won't buy a SmartPhone at MSRP due to sticker shock. Most of the pre-pay market is comprised of cheaper feature phones -- which is why there's not much choice for good SmartPhones there.

Should innovation stop so that problem resolves?

I'm content that my Droid isn't the beast it once was but I still love it. Be content with your new purchase and enjoy that technology is booming.

Just think back to 2004 where AMD was king with 2.4GHz compared to Intel's Pentium 4 at 3.2GHz. It's not the power Hz that makes the difference it's how they use it.

Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8650 1 GHz is 65nm processor that is a power hog and has poor 3D processing. TI's newer 45nm OMAP 3 and OMAP 4 with PowerVR technology seems to be just as powerful but uses less power and has better GFX acceleration.

I have an old Dell Axim X51 from 2005 that runs a Qualcomm 624MHz is a snail in comparison to my HTC Touch that had a TI's OMAP 850, 201 MHz flat flew at the time]]>May 26th 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/May 26th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/May 26th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/May 26th 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/motorola-shadow-glimpsed-in-the-wild-4-1-inch-screen-8mp-camer/

I seriously doubt it will have digital video output (maybe displayport -- you know that POS connector Apple pushes that no one uses and you have to get a 70$ adapter (that requires power btw) for it to work with any normal HDTV \ Display) -- the only plus on the iphone 4g is the front facing cam...
