Qualcomm – the company behind our beloved Snapdragon-based processors that we’re beginning to see in more and more devices today – has announced that they’ve begun sampling their first dual core Snapdragon processors. The new models are the MSM8260 and the MSM8660 and they feature two cores with the ability to run up to 1.2Ghz per core.
They’ve referred to these chipsets as the third generation of Qualcomm chipsets and will be targeted for manufacturers looking to make high-end smartphones.
Qualcomm also has a third chipset in their third generation of products – the QSD8672 – which has the ability to reach 1.5ghz in each core. That chipset was sampled in the second half of 2009 and we expect to see devices carrying the chipset sometime in 2010. Read ahead for the full press info.
We're continuing our "What to choose?" series of reviews with Motorola Milestone vs HTC Desire. This time around, we are simply pointing out key differences between them, and highlighting some important features of Motorola Milestone. You can read more about it here.
We're back with another review. And it is a dual review. But, we don't want to see which of these phones is better, we want to see which is better for you. Interested? Then read more.
As usual, quick specs for the impatient. First we'll go with Legend:
Pocketnow's source has taken some photos of not yet officialy announced HTC Incredible. It's packed with Android 2.1 and HTC Sense, Snapdragon processor, 256 MB RAM, 3.5-3.7" WVGA screen (probably AMOLED), optical mouse pointer, and dual LED flash. There are few speculations about the possibility that Incredible is Bravo in reality, over on Phandroid. From the attached video, you can see that the device is really, really fast.

It has been a long time since our last post regarding the upcoming HTC Bravo. In the meantime, Nexus One has hit the market and it is now time for the comparation based on the information we know.
We can see that Bravo will ceirtanly be a winner. The only unknown data is the amount of RAM in Bravo, and there are rumors that it will be 512MB afterall. We'll keep you posted
We have tested another smartphone. This time, it's all about style and speed. For a full review, go here. Have you tried it / do you own it? What do you think about it?
The first 1GHz Snapdragon Android phone is here. Nexus One has been the hot topic of all the technology blogs around the world.
Engadget has the full review here. As far as we European users go, Vodafone has announced that in just a few weeks it will have it in it's offer. It appears that HTC outdid itself, making the most powerful Android smartphone on the market. It looks very similar to the Bravo that we announced a while ago, and it looks like HTC will hold it's breath until the Q2 to roll out the Bravo (probably with new version of Sense). Will there be enough Nexus One models in the stock for all the interested customers ? $530 is just great, with the dollar being so down, can we expect a european Bravo to be under 500€ ?
Can and will you wait for the Bravo or try to get the Nexus One ? Shout in the comments and enjoy the following specs:
Processor: 1GHz Snapdragon
Display: 3.7" AMOLED WVGA (480x800)
Memory: 512MB RAM + 512MB ROM + microSD (4GB, expandable to 32MB)

Even with many programs in the background it completes every task flawlessly. We are eager for the final ROM and new version of TouchFLO 3D (or HTC Sense UI as it is now called).
Update: There has been an interest in photo quality. Here is one taken with our test HD2 model.
