T-Mobile is calling it “the fastest smartphone experience in America,” but as it turns out, its Qualcomm Scorpion CPU is actually relatively slow — the cellular carrier’s insider newsletter T-Mobile Scoop says the phone’s MSM7x30 chip will be clocked at 800MHz, rather than the 1GHz we’d hoped for. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that T-Mobile lying about speed, as anyone who’s upgraded from Droid to Droid 2 very well knows — bloatware can easily clog the pipes even on phones running Froyo, and we’ve heard that this particular HTC device is running a pure vanilla Android build. Speaking of delectable operating system revisions, T-Mobile confirms you’ll indeed find Android 2.2 under the hood accompanied by Flash Player 10.1, as well as “one-touch quick keys” the carrier claims provide Speedy Gonzales-like access to apps and shortcuts. Still waiting to be confirmed: a $200 subsidized price, and the day we’ll see it in stores.
