Well, all the other processors will have something similar till they come out. I think the price will differentiate

What's interesting is there are so many phones out there (LG mostly) that look just like this reference phone. What does that say? Manufactures need to spend more time styling and working on build quality. Too many androids look like reference phones. I'd love to see them transfer the software department personal to this task and stop wasting time and money on UI's that no one wants anymore.

An intel dual core for a phone sounds challenging.... but the actual phone looks clean

I'm interested to see how it runs and sells. I was hoping to see a finished product by a large manufacturer like Samsung or LG so I'm a little disappointed.

The biggest problem with the intel platform is the x86 chip in there. Many applications do have native code and every single one of those applications would have to recompiled and ported to the intel chip. Absolute nightmare for the devs and think about consumers that don't know anything about this. Some apps would work just fine but all of a sudden many apps they were familiar with are now missing from the marketplace.

8 hours of 3G talk time? Wow. Point me to it.

The Razr is rated for 12 hrs worth of talk time... 8 hrs is really nothing now-a-days.

I am sorry. I have a phone. Little old but still works quite ok. It is called Samsung Galaxy S2. It has a rated talktime of up to 18 h 20 min (2G) and up to 8 h 40 min (3G). Now, i know this is an old mobile and there have been many technology advances. But i honestly believe that no matter what is quoted you should expect maybe just one third or half of what is claimed.

Intel has nothing special, and its a single core I bet because I hear their dual cores burn too much juice, and they haven't solved the drain issue of dual cores yet.
