What? Who cares about formfactor? My point is that EVERYONE is releasing a high end phone with an A9 core.

This isnt about doing what your competitors are doing. Its about gaining sales.
It is about what your competitors are doing. That's what everyone is comparing Nokia to: their competitors. Apple, Samsung, Motorola.

I cannot think of a reason why a smartphone now would want to use a dual core processor or better yet want to POWER (power = batter) a dual core processor. Make no sense at all.
Indeed, you cannot. That doesn't mean no one can, or that no one needs a dual core.

As of right now, I do not see any marketing from any company stating "This is a (company name) (model)! It has dual cores! More cores more..." whatever. What you have said is true but for now no company has used it as a excessive market sheme AFAIK
Except that it is a feature touted by every vendor with a device on its way?

Motorola Atrix: Great phone except no keyboard, internal storage is low compared to the N900 (for example), and resolution is kind of strange (Android issue).
LG Optimus X2: Nothing too special (compared to the Motrola Atrix) except the dual core. Low storage (compared to anything). This phone could be released exactly the same without the dual core and it wouldnt make a difference as it has been shown that a single core can also record 1080p.
Point being? That doesn't negate that these devices ARE COMING and will be touted as the high end devices against which the iPhone 5 and whatever Nokia says is their high end will be compared to.

Regardless of how little use you see in a dual core processor here (I imagine you think my quad core laptop is excessive) there will be people who are more than willing to make use of it. Never mind the tech media who will have a field day if Nokia can't match it.
