Android and HTC have a LOT to do to catch up with that!

In what way, i've just watched it? and cant see anything that cant be done on android handsets that are already on the market?

If you tell them you're going to buy one they send you a micro sim ready for it..! Weird

LOL! You didn't pay much attention then?

1) A display clearerer than any other on the market full stop
2) A processor ensuring the device is incredible fast even while using powerful apps
3) An amazing battery life.. 40 hours of music playback??!! That's an incredibly large amount...
4) A new video calling protocol bringing clarity to video calling which is none existent at the moment...

Just a few

Just a few

1: Marketting guff, how clear does it need to be
2: Faster than snapdragon?
3: 40 hours of music playback, impressive but i'll estimate that you'll get no more than a days use without having to charge.
4: Video calling was dropped not because of picture quality but because no one wanted to use it. And its only via wifi to other 4g owners isnt it? FaceTime indeed.


Look beyond the smoke and mirrors...

1: WAY more than marketing guff matey... you see 2 devices side by side and you'd see the difference. Perfect clarity on a handheld device hasn't been accomplished before
2: Much
3: My iPad was given a spec of 10 hours of video playback. I watched it on a plane 12 hours straight with 10% of battery left... Apple have got the battery spot on now and you'll see when it comes out
4: No one wanted to use it because 1) it cost, 2) it was bad quality, 3) 3G networks sucked... This will be completely different for different purposes.

A lot of your arguments seem to be because you haven't seen or don't believe them.. battery life, screen, processor etc.. Just wait till it comes out

The 1GHz Apple A4 is faster than the 1GHz Snapdragon?

System

I wonder what way this will work on Orange, will there be any upgrade route to current iPhone owners in contract, I suspect the only network that will help out will be O2, the rest will do damn all

MercilessKiller

Yes. Its much faster:
