The Revolution is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon MSM8655 SoC. As such, it performs very similarly to the Thunderbolt and everything else running the 2nd generation Snapdragon chips.
There’s not too much to say here, but I will mention that there was a bit of lag, just in UI animations and the like. That kind of choppiness is pretty common in single-core Froyo devices, including the Thunderbolt and the rest of the HTC family. Gingerbread and a dual-core processor go a long way towards fixing that, but it isn’t a huge problem.

<quote>The side power button isn't as personal a matter tho, imo. I've got fairly long fingers and after a year with an EVO I don't see why anyone prefers it up top on any 4.3"phone, no matter how you hold the phone it requires an awkward finger reach to press... Samsung's side mounted lock button seems like the way to go imo.</quote>I thought so to, but I have a Samsung Captivate. Unfortunately, with my long fingers, gripping the phone normally, I accidentally hit the power button all the time, which turns off the screen and locks the phone. I find that annoying.
However, i do agree that head phone jack on the top of the phone is more convenient - holding it in my car, for example.

still going strong, and level-wise competing with Cable Wideband connections: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdF3AnNc308dlmartin53 - Wednesday, June 22, 2011 - link
So how long be for the grandfathered unlimited plans get stopped. Just like the new plans, all the contracts say they have the right to make changes at any time to the plans. The wireless industry won't be able to carry all the demand for internet capacity even with 4G/LTE.nitink - Monday, August 1, 2011 - link
