HTC Doubleshot leaks, Android 2.3 and a sliding QWERTY keyboard

26 April, 2011
HTC Doubleshot's name entered the rumorland a few days ago in a very interesting way. It was found into a six megapixel camera sample taken in Washington by an HTC employee. The picture was uploaded...

With the UC browser on my Nokia 5800, which runs on an ARM11 434 MHz processor, downloads webpages very fastly and with Opera Mobile, scrolling is very smooth. It's really sad when people only rely on the specs and believe in what haters have said. And yes, the Symbian default browser still sucks, but you're not stuck with it! Tell me, where have you tested the updated Symbian browser, when the update isn't even available yet.

              the browser just plain sucks, ill admit
              im using opera which is better than stock android browser
              other than the stock browser, i see no lag.

              that's the beauty of smartphones. look at windows internet explorer. it's rubbish, but that doesnt mean windows are bad

Galaxy S? I'm actually talking about all devices being released with 1GHz+ CPUs. They all seem to load everything faster than N8 + E7 put together. I did try the web browser on N8 with the new update. It is VERY SLOW.

                          picture reminds me of the pre-auto focus era and when 1.3 megapixels were conciderd a lot. they need to improve the overall picture quality, add xenon flash, and also ditch the qwerty unless the unit will be compact like the x10 minis.

                            No one was forced to switched to Android or iOS. Android and iOS just get things done faster.

                            Battery? CPU? Read that.
                            "While it’s almost universally agreed that power efficiency is a priority for these processors, many criticize the amount of processing power these new chips are bringing to mobile devices, and ask why so much performance is necessary. Whether or not mobile applications actually need this much power is not really the concern however; improved processing and graphics performance with little to no additional increase in energy needs will allow future phones to actually be much more efficient in terms of power. This is because ultimately, power efficiency relies in a big part on the ability of the hardware in the phone to complete a task quickly and return to an idle state where it consumes very little power. This “burst” processing, while consuming fairly high amounts of power for very short periods of time, tends to be more economical than prolonged, slower processing. So as long as ARM chipset manufacturers can continue to crank up the performance while keeping power requirements low, there’s nothing but gains to be had."

Like all comments previously posted before me, all phone manufacturers have completely forgotten (in their quest to reap all the $$$ fr innocent consumers !) that the best phone is still one that can make & receive calls effeciently & clearly, one that can assist the user to sms out (one hand sms is always faster than the QWERTY) at "high speed".
