So - I have a question -

How in the heck do you measure diagonal screen size on a curved surface?

(edit - that was the rhetorical question, no need to advise, the actual point and question follows)

If across the actual surface, then the apparent size in your hand may seem less, and the dead-on view will definitely be less.

So - if 4.65, it may not seem/feel that moosey - maybe?

Man, I hope Samsung doesn't postpone any more events because of this. :D

No but I heard the Texans were really going to stick it to them tomorrow and they've decided to forfeit out of respect. :D

(J/k. SJ was a good man, Samsung and Google are honorable, etc.)

you bend the ruler with the curve
 
I was at my local VZN store earlier today. One of the sales rep's or maybe manager, I don't recall, freaked about what I told him has been rumored. Yes the part about there being no Verizon bloat on this device. He could not believe it and would not believe that VZN would agree to that. He said that their navigator, madden game, and others were too popular not to have on any smartphone they sold. Of course the sales people are the last to know, but I found this humorous. As he just bought the D3 recently I told him that he may very well be sorry and that this is the phone he should have waited for....

LOL - ok thanks, but my actual point was in the statement and point came after the rhetorical question: If across the actual surface...

Based on the curve of the screen, I would assume that "corner to corner" (not measuring the curved surface) dimension would not be that much smaller. Maybe like 4.5" instead of 4.65".
 
Going back to some original concerns...
A lot of us were wondering how they were going to fit the LTE radio and 2050 mAH battery into the NP. Looking at Steven's post about the NP being a game changer we could be seeing one of two things...

1.) A second gen LTE radio to allow the NP and future devices be thinner and house bigger batteries. (I don't believe this to be the case)

2.) A more efficient battery or charging method such as solar charging. This feature is DEFINTELY a "game changer" and it would allow us to go much longer without plugging in and charging, and would eliminate a key complaint of android phones.

Or it could be something totally different but the second one sure seems like a possibilty since the technology is already out there and developed by Samsung.
 
Many thanks to "Steven" for helping us keep hope alive but......has anyone ever seen "Steven"?. Remember "Surrogates" where the remote operator is running a robot device? Is Steven real? Or is this just coming from a surrogate operator in Samsung headquarters? Just kidding. Do I get suspended now?

To whoever (whomever) made that render in the OP, damn you! Now, if the real Prime is any less sexy than that (and the one in the "leaked" video definitely is) I'm going to be disappointed. That thing is hot!

It's nice to finally see the little rectangles change and get some real panache (curved NS notwithstanding).

Here's another to ponder while we wait and wonder when our next tidbit is coming -

VERZO

Personally, I'm way digging that one. :)

OK, so couple that with the soft buttons reducing the bezel and this beastie may seem downright svelte! :)
 
Do you guys think an exynos 4212 processor would give significantly better actual performance than the OMAP?

Fruit ninja is significantly choppier on my DX than on an iPhone/Pad or even the Galaxy S (on just stock GB, no CM7 or memory management tweaks). But other than that, the phone is still pretty speedy.

Steven is very real. The epic Incredible thread's posting stats were 75% Steven, 25% everyone else. ;)
 
Question to all -- I've been monitoring this thread, and it's too much to see every post. I've checked the first page.

How certain is it at this point that we will see a Verizon launch for ICS Nexus Prime?

I know Steven is real, but your questions are incomplete, honestly - nothing personal.

You may wish to ask Is Steven a real person? Yes. Yes, Steven is warm and wonderful and nice all-around, well-developed personality.

However, if you wished to ask, Is Steven human? Umm. OK. See, here's the thing - we don't discuss our AI projects much, but we do know that your favorite mod here, Steven, has a Topic Distortion Field and that it's based on alien technologies.

But I can assure you with certainty that Steven is autonomous. Mostly.

Hope this helps! :)

Baring unforeseen changes, Steven has noted with absolute confidence that it will release on November 3.

I believe him.
