If this has GSM quadband with 3G, then this is finally the GSM 'droid I've been looking for. And I can stop bidding on HD2's to hack Eclair+Sense on to them.

The memory the omap uses is faster which lets every transfer quicker
hummingbird is fast than the omap cpu vs cpu with the the other variables in there the omap scores higher even though the gpu and cpu the humming bird uses are faster. Slow memory will slow everything down. An i7 hexacore cpu and a nvidia 480 paired with slow as ram will not score the best either]]>Jul 15th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/rumored-htc-desire-hd-specs-surface-4-3-inch-screen-8-megapixe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/rumored-htc-desire-hd-specs-surface-4-3-inch-screen-8-megapixe/Jul 15th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/rumored-htc-desire-hd-specs-surface-4-3-inch-screen-8-megapixe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/rumored-htc-desire-hd-specs-surface-4-3-inch-screen-8-megapixe/
Hopefully by the end of the year. Those rumored Gingerbread specs supporting higher res sounded mighty nice. Can you imagine a nice 4.3 inch, Tegra 2, slide out keyboard, 1080p camera, and a 1280x768 SAMOLED?

The phone GPU should be amazing and it should have LTE, WiMax, WiFi. The phone should run Windows Phone 7. WP7 should include 3 options - no multitasking, virtual multitasking, full multitasking. And another 3 options - no copy paste, smart copy paste & full copy paste. It should also BAN all those fart apps and even though the number of apps would be less, it should have the highest number of useful, high-quality and unique apps! Additionally, it could also boot Android 2.3
