Cool – a dual core processor. Y’know, so that they can process the XML and Java based inputs TWICE AS FAST!

How about they just optimize the OS? BBOS is the worst device-specific operating system ever written, hands-down.

They all do that. In fact, the Bold has 3. If you have escreen access, go to OS, Battery, Core Frequency, and you’ll see it has a 624 MHz Apps core, 208 MHz Radio Core, and a 312 MHz DSP core.

Very weird. The storm supposedly uses the same processor but it is clocked at 624Mhz not 528Mhz like the telus doc. Could be they are wrong? Or maybe multiple clock speeds are available. I checked the documentation and teardown and saw no mention of it being dual core before. Could be I glossed over it…
