So to Wait?

Damn. Aurora makes an irrefutable point the other day that has me struggling. the Android junky that I am, I had been so happy to hear of T-Mobile's addition of the Galaxy S this month i overlooked a huge point. we are at that time of Android evolution where it is very hard to justify spending $500+ on a device and let me explain why: Any technology will be surpassed quickly no doubt, but Android in particular is changing dramatically faster. With the rumors of 2Ghz Processors, 1Gb RAM phones being released by the holidays thats enough to make me pause before signing an equipment contract. Buyer's remorse be damned that phone is sexy and i want it...and normally would have bought it. Another fact: We live in an "HSPA+ coming soon" area. The Galaxy S is not an HSPA+ device. Think about it...The processors out now are fast enough for me, although faster is better, the bottleneck for me and what makes me angry as can be is load times for web pages, lost signals while streaming audio or video, slow downloads etc. Id be a fool to shell out that kind of dough for a phone that would behave for me very similiar to my Motorola Cliq most of the time. Don't get me started on the whole Cliq thing. Matteroffactly i think my next post will address that argument, for now i'll say its a great phone. Anyway. wait till the Holiday Explosion to buy a new device. I'm betting that this year we will all see some amazing and sick phones...2GHZ, dual core, HDMI, SuperAMOLED, HSPA+, Gingerbread, etc. Motorola Send T-Mo a High Ender!!!
