Don't use dual core as a factor when considering a phone. At the moment android doesn't support dual core cpu's yet. It's planned, but it won't be out until well after the next phones from moto come out. If you want a good phone, look at the htc merge that's coming out in a month or 2, that one should fit what you're looking for.

Well considering I'd be getting a 2-year contract to get the best price on the phone, I don't think dual core would be a bad investment if I plan on being stuck with the same phone for 2 years.

I stopped at Verizon and checked out the Droid 2, and HTC Thunderbolt briefly. Wasn't overly impressed with the Droid 2. Touch screen felt a little sluggish, not nearly as nice as my 2nd Gen iPod Touch. Also, the QWERTY keyboard I did not like nearly as much as the one on my ~4 year old LG EnV. So, I think more than likely, I'll wait for the Droid 3.

The Thunderbolt seemed pretty nice (nice screen and responsive), but I really want/need a physical keyboard.
