More 7022 info.
My 7022 arrived yesterday and have been comparing it to my 7024. One thing that surprised my was the speed comparisons. The 7024 is noticeably faster. I thought at first that it must have to do with the added overhead of OS2.3 vs 2.2 but it turned out to be the difference in processors. The 7024 is using the Samsung S5PV210 Cortex A8 while the 7022 is using the Telechip TCC8803 Cortex A8.
The 7022's capacitive screen is two touch and is not very responsive. The capacitive screen is also a finger print magnet. I use a capacitive stylus on my Toshiba Thrive to keep finger prints down but the 7022 won't respond to the stylus (two different makes). I can't see a bit of difference between the two as far as quality of the display.
The 7022 has also lost the volume rocker switch and the stereo speakers. It is also 10 grams heavier (as weighed on my wife's trusty kitchen scales).
The build qualities are comparable but the bezel arrangement on the 7024 are easier for me to hang on to. They are slightly raised on the 7024 but are flush on the 7022.
Maybe it's just me but I prefer the 7024. It could be I'm biased because I am used to it. Who knows?
