That back looks bland as hell, as least the Nexus S was Glossy.

Not yet. But I'm not gonna stay up 'til 4.

Besides, if the Nexus S taught me anything, it's that in the 6 hours preceding the reveal, everything there is to know will be known. Someone's probably going to find the presentation on Google docs in a few minutes. Thank god they just refreshed all of that this morning.

Then I guess you won't get the Galaxy Nexus S Prime?

Oh, and if you buy Nokia, you can force them to implement a real curved screen. How about that?

Samsung and Google are probably trying to push the sales of this phone with the Galaxy brand, which became somewhat popular (S and SII apparently sold over 30m units).

It's still a terrible name.

Why every droid lte phone have that hump in the rear?
Click to expand...

Samsung started the subtle hump for ergonomics (and it's awesome), Google went balls out with the Nexus S.

That's another thing that hump looks like the SII hump and not the Nexus hump.

I have no idea. According to the original teaser, the power button and those three dock/charging connectors were on the other side as well.

WTF samsung. Seriously.

They probably wanted to fool the Apple lawyers.

"Damn, it's curved. No chance here. Lets move one. Did you guys prepare the Galaxy S3 lawsuit?"

Well, yeah the image was mirrored, but isn't that incredibly stupid for a non symmetrical product. Next they'll be showing iOS versions of software on their android phone adverts.

Can someone tell me what's so great about a curved screen?

I'm looking forward to the the Nokia WP7 but would just like to know the pros of it

If you put it face down on a table, no part of your screen ever touches the surface.

Also, sexy. Curves are always sexy.

It's a trick to make it look like the icons are on the surface of the screen. The N9/800's screen is convex and not concave I believe.

That's weird...I'm trying to imagine the appeal of a concave screen and don't really see it.

Doesn't matter. We're not really getting it anyway. That was just to help us create an irrelevant thread topic title.

or should I say =|

The curve of the phone also helps with accidently palm touching of the screen, it's sort of a "bridge" reaching over.

A few things from that video. Touch to focus in the camera and it shoots quickly. Really quickly. It seems very, very smooth. Lots of blue. More than I thought. Buttons as expected rotate with screen orientation. Touching the bottom of the screen in the camera kicks the phone back into the app tray.
