Sorry I misspoke. No chance SOME of those specs are true, not all. My mistake!

I know I don't post much but I read alot....That being said, curving can actually increase strength, as an arch is one of the strongest shapes there are. Additionally curves and wrinkles within metal also increase the strength in that area, which is why the metal on cars have so many ridges and bends. Maybe the shell of the phone will be made out of carbon fiber or Carbon nanotubes. Maybe kryptonite, Just my .02 cents.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, as I am not an engineer.
Welcome to the controlled insanity, beandawglgetu! Yep, November 3rd is the best SWAG we can come up with, based on the information we have... so far.

Curved is actually stronger then flat surfaces. I registered just to say that
That's how an egg is so thin, but strong. I had fun many years ago in high school technology class. Egg drop project: where you had to build an enclosure around an egg, and design it to distribute the force of the drop evenly around the egg so it doesn't break from the drop. Then there was the pop-sickle stick bridge project. If you made a flat bridge, it wouldn't hold much weight
I can't post links, but google it if you don't believe me "curved plane stronger then flat".

Again, not possible. If you don't have real people testing final hardware, then the hardware isn't being sufficiently tested. For devices intended to be sold in the millions, it would be insane to release something with a non-trivial chance of recall. My WAG is that they'd have dozens testing for months before a phone's release.
That sounds right, I wouldn't expect any extra fragility unless the manufacturer really screws up.
Oh, is titanium no longer the fashionable magic strength material?

I see a Mr steven58 thanked me how did he do that i'm really new to this forum stuff mostly just trolling i'm shy.
In the bottom right hand corner of every post is a "thanks" button. If someone says something helpful (or something you agree with a lot) then hit it and that "thanks" that poster

Carbon nanotubes are the new king of... well just about everything material-wise. Highly, HIGHLY doubt we see it's use for a while though

Sorry. I don't see this phone getting a fixed 16gb storage. If you're planning on going after the iphone (which offers you different space options) this just seems illogical.
As much as "cloud" computing is this new craze. It really isn't. I don't want to use cloud storage for my music or files. I'm not going to stream or have to redownload things I need or want to view/look at over and over and over again.
As many have said a game changer can be something so sudden. In football if its 7-7 and a team is driving on their opponents 3 and throws an interception for a pick 6 with 50 seconds left. Thats a game changer.
Big screen in a 4.3 form factor = game changer.

I stated earlier in this thread that I believe the prefect combination that is being hinted at and the something Big, is the marriage between Samsung's biggest/most popular phone and Google's....
We get the best of the Galaxy (thin, screen, processor, camera) and marry that to the best of the Nexus (pure android experience, timely updates, curved screen, beautiful form factor).....after you have thatmarriage, you go bigger...ICS, dual core 1.5ghz Exynos, 4.65" screen....LTE 2nd gen to keep it thin ala galaxy....nfc...etc....
What's BIGGER than that??? Is that not the prefect combination considering the players Samsung and Google???

Welcome to the forums, Luxferro!
Sounds like the you attended the annual event in Ann Arbor.

Although, I do agree that the Prime should have expandable storage to compete (16GB won't cut it if you want to be competitive), cloud storage could be very useful depending on how it is implemented. For example, when I work remotely, I work off of my company's cloud server. I don't have to stream anything or re-download anything. Everything is there and available instantly as if I was at my desk at work using my PC. If the Prime used cloud storage in this fashion...THAT would be a game changer IMO.

Gamechanger=kickstand. Revolutionized the smartphone world (sarcasm)
Hard to believe, but I have family living in the middle of nowhere. There is no "cloud" there. No LTE. No cell phone connectivity. I do NOT want my stuff stored in some inaccessible "cloud". Give me 16GB of storage AND a microSD slot. Then we can talk "cloud".
Awww, and I thought that glowing dangly charm thingy that comes with the Rhyme was a game-changer! Well... SOMEBODY thought it was
Scary, huh?

So... what use would they have for a cell phone, with or w/o microSD?

Point being, Biker, that I don't want all my music and movies locked away in a "cloud" I can't get to. I want it onboard my phone when I'm out in the wilderness (with in-laws
). 16GB doesn't get it for me. Neither does a cloud.Cloud has its place, I won't dispute that. But until it's EVERYWHERE, I want sufficient space on my phone for movies, music and all the HD video and photos I'm presumably going to be taking with this beast.

I must agree with this. There's no way that they're going to leave the finished product untested.
Having said that, they could easily use a "dummy" form factor and still test the relevant parts inside. I mean, if you were to put all that hardware inside the case of an SGSII, for example, you'd be able to test it. That way, if a video leaks, people really aren't seeing the actual finished phone because the shell is different.
But that really doesn't explain the huge deviations in specs we're getting. I think that the answer to that is simply that there are a lot of glory-hounds making crap up and leaking it to websites just for a thrill.
VZ_Wired, could you just do this ONE LITTLE THING and tell us what the processor is???? That's it, we won't ask for anything more!!
Edit: if you can't do that, can you at least tell us WHICH website the fired corporate employee leaked to???

So its more likely that google is only testing ICS on the prime and nexus S?
