Gah! You're right. I hadn't seen what kind of processor was in it. I think it was a reasonable assumption, given that practically every Android device on the market these days has the same processor. When I saw the same speed I assumed. Ah well.

If it's as snappy as the 3GS, and well designed, then I guess I'd consider it. In the meantime, I'm hoping that Cyanogen (developer of the most popular G1 replacement ROM) will release some 2.0 updates.

I believe "the Droid" is another name for the Motorola Sholes, which I've heard will have a GSM version...
