dp, 19 Sep 2012thanks for the link. it really is a cortex A9. Other users ... moreyes the performance will be good, but you are forgetting that not many games will run on this as drivers for this chipset will be a problem. most game company does not support broadcom. take example of galaxy y . it also had a gpu but not many games worked because of lack of support .

The price at launch is almost similar to the dual core powered xperia u. As far as I am concerned I like the feel of real keys under my fingers when I type something. Just wish that the keypad is not for typing only. I mean shortcuts etc. I just really hate to use the touch screen for everything. As far as the res is concerned I'm okay with it. I don't play games and I do not watch videos on a 3 inch screen. I prefer that on my PC.

i want to add something about the tipo, the display. The colors are ok but not good for viewing photo or video, plus the viewing angle is bad in landscape, you need to tilt the left side away from you to get good picture. This is obviously a very cheap TN panel display, as is to be expected at this price but it really leaves you wishing for more.

The Miro should be much much better, so i am sure most ppl would benefit from paying more to get the Miro instead, with full 16M color on a led backlit 3.2" display. Performance is the same as Tipo.

dp, 19 Sep 2012thanks for the link. it really is a cortex A9. Other users ... moreThats good specs then. But shifting away from the Tipo, with a 320x240 display? Qwerty phones have become a niche market, for the specially interested. But galaxy chat will certainly steal lotsa customers from qwerty Nokia Asha series, real touch ui android instead of featurephone S40 crap.

I am qwerty fan but still i would not consider the galaxy chat over the Tipo, but over galaxy pocket and galaxy Y or any other 320x240 phones, sure i get the galaxy chat instead, no doubt

Keep watching videos on youtube. people generally post videos of games on their phones. you should wait for sometime until those videos are posted. the videos will also show which game runs fast and which one doesn't. I think the tipo will be better for games because of the higher res and a known GPU but just wait for the videos and then you will be able to decide.

Other users can see this link http://www.broadcom.com/products/Cellular/3G-Baseband-Processors/BCM21654 the processor mentioned here specifies an integrated GPU as well. A cortex A9 in such price range is absolutely brilliant and this explains clearly why the gchat runs ICS very smoothly. well I think this discussion is shifting people away from the tipo.

[deleted post]it has an arm v7 Broadcom BCM21654 chipset .

it is cortex a9 and has power iv gpu. gpu in galaxy y was also power iv gpu but it has a upgraded and enhanced version of the gpu. but since broadcomm chip is very rarely used hence there is very less support for it for games. hence most f the games dont run that well. it also has gloanass.

[deleted post]yes an A9 core will probably not be present on a phone in this price range. maybe its an A5 core. 800 or 850 is the same if you compare it to the tipo. Still its good. and yes GLONASS is something which you can't expect in a phone of this range. probably the specs we see are not right. the main thing is the performance of the device and it runs ICS smoothly.

I like qwerty fones, the last 3-4 years all my fones been sideslider qwerty, N900, Desire Z and now last Xperia Pro, but my next high end unit will not be qwerty as no manufacturers are willing to launch a HD QWERTY SideSlider, Sony has even made a statement that they will not make a new one because "bigger full touch" is what is in demand now, QWERTY fones have become a niche,

AND THATS WHY SAMSUNG is not gonna release a qwerty Galaxy with good specs.

Edit: Glonass support is also very doubtful
