Does the so-called "2nd processor" actually make it faster than the P800? The P800 is pretty slow at times, and video playback isn't very smooth.

Is P900 really faster than the P800? If it isn't really faster by much, it seems that a change to XDA II would be more worthwhile than P900 from a P800. From P800 to P900, I only get a new design, and a 65K screen. Not much differences

2nd processor on p900 no one knows its speed

but if you have a P800 theres not that much u missing

They both have two processors, one is for the PDA one for the Phone, just advertised the P900 with two to make it look better. They are the same inside, the P900 is actually slower in jbenchmark.

as sidneylopsides says, the mythical "2nd processor" is a marketing gimmick. The two phones are virtually identical inside, except the P900 has a little extra memory which (in theory) may help it to handle large files (such as videos) more smoothly.

that said, the P800's video playback within the Philips Camcoder software is pretty smooth too - so I guess the improved firmware is really the deciding factor.

I forgot about that, the philips player is very smooth...
