Incorrect. It only has a 528Mhz Qualcomm® MSM7600 processor, like all of HTC's other U.S. phones.
The Samsung Moment running android out next month has an 800 Mhz processor. Still seems to be a good start for Android on Sprint. If only I didn't have to change to a more expensive, less featured plan to use it!

That's a pretty nice looking phone I'd dare to say that I'm a bit jealous of Sprint and I'm hoping something at least as nice hits Verizon.

With Verizon's "promise" of Google Voice support on their phones I've been hoping I can upgrade from my Voyager within the next year or so to a nice Android-powered phone.

I can't wait untill Verizon releases it's android phones...AT&T has terrible coverage, and sprint is even worse. Mobile web is great...but a phone should be able to make phone calls; AT&T and sprint seem to have troubles doing this.

I'll stick with my full-keyboard G1. I've tried using the touchscreen keyboard many times on both my own phone and also on the iPhone. Does anyone else agree that the technology just isn't there?
