1.5 years and a stinking CPU update!?

Geesh, windows 7 phone here I come, screw this.

At least watch the actual event before you think jumping to the Zune phone is your best option. :rolleyes:

Well, they seemed to think they impressed with the 3Gs and the numbers kinda back it up.. So why not try again?

Because when they did that in 2009 there were few android phones available, the best having 3.2" screen with cpu around 528mhz if I'm remembering correctly. In other words competition was still behind.

16 months and this is all we get.......very disapointing.....at least I won't have to take a day off work and try for 13 hours to get a pre order....:rolleyes:

The iPhone + iCloud + iOS 5 ecosystem has also been an integral piece of work, which was always going to be perfected before going public after the MobileMe debacle.

I actually cannot wait for the 4S if it's the only device, because these forums should suddenly become a lot better, quieter, and more sensible if the people who continually, for weeks on end, threatened to leave actually do so.
