Yeah, I'm also a little disapointed with the new releases, not one hit the mark from my POV.
It seems like every single one is lacking in at least 1 department and none make me want to trade in my 16Gb Omnia 7.
I'm starting to wonder if the entrance of Nokia had an effect on releases from the other partners.
IMHO Single core is not one of the issues though, 1.4-1.5 Ghz looks pretty nice to me, especially when the upgrade to the GPU element is taken into account.
Nokias Lumia 800 screen size is just too small for me and the lack of FFC is a curious missed opportunity. Love the design though, that's how to make an up market all plastic phone. Close but no cigar Nokia!!
HTCs Radar whilst well designed appears to be strangely downclocked to 1ghz, still better than Gen 1 devices due to the core enhancements though. Again the screen size is a put off and 8Gb is simply inadequate.
An honourable mention should go the HTC Titan. Processor, Storeage (16Gb is enough), camera, Screen and build quality all hit my check boxes. I'm just a bit unsure if I can go for something that big.
Samsungs Focus S, like the Titan hits most of the points on my super phone checklist. I'm a little unsure about the lightweight plastic design and in the end it wont matter as we'll not get it over here in the UK. WTF Samsung where's the Euro S grade phones??
Samsungs Omnia W. Great in every respect apart from the limited storeage and the screen size/ Non-RGB Amoled. I like the build/design better than the Focus S.
ZTE, bit of an unknown quantity in my book.
