probably HTC is in favor with U380 quad-3G chip
it may be a good news for T-Mobile

Actually, if they go with Ericsson's U500 platform, it would definitely make Snapdragon DOA if U500 delivers on schedule. U500 has the ARM Mali 3D in it, besides triple ARM11s, and also hardware acceleration.

All paper though until it hits GLBenchmark and SPB Benchmark.

Snapdragon is vaporware for all I'm concerned. It's been a year and a half since it's been announced, and I haven't still heard of any devices on the horizon employing it.

Besides, Qualcomm's a la carte pricing model (and exaggerated performance numbers) means that they'll be heavily crippled (like the MSM72xx chips) by the time they reach consumers.

I'm hoping this HTC-SE deal will mean that my next HTC smartphone will actually be able to do simple tasks like playing VGA res video without studdering.
