This delay gives me more time to think it through. My N95 is still going ok but I want an upgrade. The Droid might turn out to be a better deal. Also, any rumour from HTC about an impending 1GHz android device will make me cancel my preorder faster than you can say maemo.


*runs and hides behind couch after blasphemy*
But the 1Ghz chips are Qualcomm!

Never again will I trust their chips. My Xperia X1 was 528Mhz, does that mean the N900 will be only very slightly faster? Nope! Because its like comparing a PIII 1Ghz to a P4 1Ghz to a Core 2 Solo 1Ghz, they are very different beasts performance wise despite the same technical speed.

The reason Qualcomm are pushing 1Ghz chips is because their previous generation (as in the Xperia X1) were very poor performers so they need more Mhz to compare to OMAP chips. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a 1Ghz Qualcomm is still slower than the N900.
