RIM has finally improved on there phones, however, it is lacking new hardware. The Camera is out dated and so is the 624MHZ processor. Since they continue to build on the same OS I don't see the memory leak issue being fixed.

At this point I will stick with my Droid X and Original Droid because they have the power and reliability that RIM can lack.

but without the mem leak we wouldn't get to do the daily battery pull....

They do not...

But they seem to use the same CPU as Dell Axim X50 used ... in 2005.

Not according to many websites. They state they have used the core of 4.0 all the way up to 6.0. They have not done completely new build. Just like Windows 98-2000-XP it is the same core engine with UI and other changes.
