Yeah, I got a better look at the graphic and now I'm not so sure. I can't imagine the point of having a curved screen (think about watching video)...I don't think the curve is as drastic as the graphic makes it look, but I def think they're insinuating that it has a curved display.
It's going to be awesome. The screen on the Galaxy S2 is amazing. This figures to be better with a Super Amoled HD screen. The only thing I can't figure out is why put a 5mp camera on this bad boy? The 8mp camera on the GS2 is awesome and one of the best features of the phone.Yea, that right there is my next phone.
Wow.
Really, with tiered data usage, the "best" carrier is the one you currently have. Stick with AT&T.Verizon only, ugh. I hate Verizon and want to stay with AT&T - looks like I'll be going with the SII instead. I really wanted this phone to be an option, it looks incredible.
Besides the camera, the phone is pretty cutting edge. You won't find another phone with better specs (there are a few comparable phones out there, namely the GSII), but the fact that it's pure Google w/Ice Cream Sandwich is a huge ++.For the uneducated, what does the specs mean? Is it a good battery? RAM good for a phone? etc...

Plus I'm grandfathered into the unlimited data. I have my cable through AT&T (one of the first adopters) and have never had a problem with them or their service. Verizon is the devil.Really, with tiered data usage, the "best" carrier is the one you currently have. Stick with AT&T.
Seriously. But people have brand loyalty, too. Thousands will choose the new HTC Incredible HD/Vigor over the Prime, for example, because HTC makes a more "solid" phone and they like Sense.So glad I passed on the Bionic.
I was never impressed with the Bionic to begin with, I've been smitten over the GSII since last November and just recently have been turned onto the Nexus Prime. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to get it..

To some, but not when you're grandfathered with them, as well. (Plus my job gets me a 20% discount on service.)Plus I'm grandfathered into the unlimited data. I have my cable through AT&T (one of the first adopters) and have never had a problem with them or their service. Verizon is the devil.
Exact same boat here. Grandfathered in and I get the 20%. Never had any issues with Verizon so I'll probably never switch unless forced. I actually think that Verizon provides some of the better customer service around. I've always ha positive experiences whenever I've had to call them.To some, but not when you're grandfathered with them, as well. (Plus my job gets me a 20% discount on service.)
I played with the GSII in a Sprint store before it was released on AT&T - Sprint got a 4.7" version of the GSII compared to the 4.5" version on AT&T and it felt pretty big. Although, after playing with it for almost an hour I felt pretty comfortable with the size and when I took out my iPhone to make a call it felt small and crowed by comparison. I think between 4" and 4.5" is the sweet spot.Jesus...4.65 inches seems completely monstrous. I am honestly interested in the phone, but my god that's not small.
Why would you opt for this knock off when you can TALK to the new iPhone?!?!?! I kid..I kid...I'm thrilled with the Bionic...however, I have another line up for renewal in December and will be able to pass the Bionic on to my wife.
The difference between a phone not being able to make calls and feeling flimsy is pretty vast though. Some iPhones needed a case to function properly. This phone will need a case to feel better in your hand. Big difference.with all due respect, the issue isn't whether it's better with a case or not as Android fans so fruitfully reminded iPhone 4 users with their antennas. I don't think it feels that cheap to be honest but your argument is kind of silly. As for the iPhone 4, I love the design back and front but without a case, it feels like the phone is going to fly out of your hand as soon as you give it a chance.

No disagreement here. It's all moot because you'd have to be insane not to put a case on your phone in 2011, when it costs $600 to replace without a contract. (Unless you have insurance...then it's a measley $125)The difference between a phone not being able to make calls and feeling flimsy is pretty vast though.

Yea and I think that's what Traut's point was. All the talk of the build and feel means a lot less than to regular users than it will to reviewers.No disagreement here.

I hate cases. I buy a phone for how it performs and how it looks. The last thing I want to do is wrap it in silicone.No disagreement here.

No, your existing $30 unlimited data plan will not change.I've been on a Verizon family plan (3 people), with data, for a long time. If I get an LTE enabled phone, such as the Nexus, do I have to upgrade or pay an additional amount on our data plan?
I agree, they suck. It sucks worse when you're on the subway though and someone elbows you by accident sending your phone down the stairs because you had it in your hand for 2 seconds to change the song. (If you didn't catch on, that happened to me). I think the Bionic looks pretty badass and if you like big phones then the size won't bother you. I was pretty jealous to see 4G in action but that phone size is just not for me. My biggest issue with my iPhone is that on Wall St where my office was and in LIC where my new office is, I get terrible reception for data, same at Yankee games. It could be an AT&T issue but I don't see others having quite the same issue in places where there are large crowds.I hate cases. I buy a phone for how it performs and how it looks.

I would trade my 8MP Droid3 camera for the 5MP camera on my BB Storm2 in a heartbeat. I love the new phone, but absolutely hate everything about the camera. Maybe that's just a product of Android, but I printed and framed several pics from the storm and wouldn't ever consider doing so with my droid.It seems perfect except for the camera. That's a real shame.

The Storm2 camera is 3.2MP. Not to say it isn't a nice camera, just a correction.I would trade my 8MP Droid3 camera for the 5MP camera on my BB Storm2 in a heartbeat.

Wow, I guess that just further illustrates that MP is not the end all, be all. My griping is even after the software fix for the droid3 that got rid of the blue hue added to every picture taken with the flash. The blue is now gone, but the 5 second lag and overall bluriness remains.The Storm2 camera is 3.2MP. Not to say it isn't a nice camera, just a correction.
