Is that another unbiased ranking with an iPhone or a drop test?

I mean, I would expect the Galaxy S II to survive more punishment than the iPhone 4, a lot more...

I thought I worded it correctly...

If we go by the Nexus S then they should be available about two weeks after the official announcement.

Aww, I don't have a phone at the moment and REALLY need one by the first week of November, and I'm trying really hard not to give into buying the iPhone 4S

I'm not sure about the curved shape of the phone (assuming the final product does look like this), as certain view angles while using applications might be an issue but overall I'm actually quite interested in the phone.

Still would prefer a hardware home button though, means no accidental presses and you get a solid 'click' when pressing it.

I'm referring to the images from here. The video of ICS 4.0 is interesting too.

I would prefer hardware buttons too - i fear the software button will be a hit and miss affair. But, I won't pass judgement until i've had a try.

I went to CWH to send my DHD for repairs..good timing as I should be able to renew contract now

- strange that no one rang me to ask if I want to upgrade...
so lets wait and see what sung +goog will announce
bring it on 27th !!

Smart(or custom) software should take care of that.

I'm really liking the look of this. Think the curved shape looks cool. Hope we get some official announcements soon and that I can get it on Orange :-)

Playing with my friends tablet it doesnt seems so bad, never really had a problems with the buttons. and also the curved screen should not be any problem at all and SAMOLED offers unlimited viewing angles.

Why the hell did they curve it? Can't imagine it being to comfortable in your pocket.

AndyCr15 · 10 Oct 2011 at 22:35

Why? Do you have a really flat, really firm leg?

Is that just your flat firm leg, or are you happy to see me?

The phone will be fine if you want something curved then get a banana.
