Just to re-iterate my previous rant, the 600 MHZ Qualcomm MSM7227 in the HTC 2010 leak is not a new architecture. It uses the same CPU architecture as the OLD and hated MSM7200, just clocked a little bit faster. According to Qualcomm, this chip was designed for low-end smartphones. HTC if these leaks are correct and you don't have better WinMo handsets (Cortex-A8 or equiv) for 1H10, SHAME ON YOU!
