Not phone specific which is awesome.

Was thinking of going for a patent but probably get sued by Apple so screw it.

I got that from the Sprint tech officer (CTO or other, don't recall) who detailed in a financial publication interview that carriers can easily go to that level of spec detail, and the makers will go for it because they consider it front-line product feedback that will improve sales.
You work in mobile device manufacturing - tell me how Verizon manages one-off models from the rest of the world, complete with nightmare upgrade stories as a result, with increased memory but they can't specify that level of battery detail.
No intention of being confrontational in my choice of language, just saying, look at the forest instead of trees - how many changes go into layout, inventory, QA, acceptance, parts handling, supplier contracting and firmware just to put in a bigger MCP to satisfy the Verizon increased memory spec?
Makers respond to buyers, same as it ever was.
Without going into too much detail, we make some very (very very) niche mobile products that are used on the carriers networks, including Verizon.
I've never seen that level of detail, only high level requirements. Then again, we are not doing consumer level products, so that game could certainly be different. However, from a designers standpoint, it would be completely irresponsible for Verizon to specify things like battery size. That makes absolutely zero sense.
For example, perhaps you are designing cars and specified seating capacity for four, but only two wheels. How would that work out? There is always some manufacturer feedback. Or in our industry, a customer tells us what they want, we tell them the specs, and then we get an order with those specs. So the specs look like they come from the customer, but in the end, we were the ones who came up with them. Despite what any CTO claims (and like I'd believe a CTO on a conference call), the detail level specifications come directly from the manufacturer. I'm sure as always there's a lot of negotiation between parties, but not at that detailed level. The detailed level specs come out in design reviews, where parties agree to move forward or make changes to the design. Here's the part where I feel they use the best battery they can fit, and at the design review state, Verizon just gives the OK without much thought.
And I never take your counterpoints as confrontational, nor should you take mine. I think we're both professionals with some experience in the industry and are able to hold a good conversation on it. I appreciate the feedback you give me.

I'm getting really anxious for this thing to come out now! Just the thought that I will have this thing in my hands two weeks from now makes me drool a bit.
Come on, we wanted a bigger battery, we got a bigger battery. What more do you want?
We all know that LTE is a battery hog, which is why we're so pumped about the 1850 mAh battery (and so confused by HTC's 1620 mAh battery on the Rezound)
The Galaxy Nexus's battery is just 15% bigger compared to the Rezound.
There are so many greater factors that affect battery life than the size of the batteries.

Don't think this one has been posted before, but I'm not sure. I like it because there are pictures.

As discussed earlier, Engadget posted their week in review of FCC filings and it was not in there. I will check tonight on the FCC website to see if Samsung filed anything for today and I will post my findings.

Another universal holder that I personally use everyday and works awesome is this:

It holds my incredible and my wife's charge with no problems, giving access to the usb port, 3.5mm, and all the buttons.

Yeh, Thanks, the Permalink.
I'll give Proclips a month or so to make up the GN power cradle. Untill then I have a cheap-o squeezers & cup type and use my USB to Pioneer radio.

Oh that's great! I might have to order that one now and then when the Sammy one drops, I can have a spare universal one.

I still want a decent camera, but just sprung for a Canon T3 dSLR with 18-55mm lens and 70-300mm lens. Replaces my old film (yes, I said film) Minolta Maxx 7Si SLR. So far loving it, even though it's an entry level dSLR.
So not sure if I care that much about camera anymore. Or at least a fantastic one. As long as it's good enough to get the shot I need when I don't have my new cam, I'm ok with that.

English Redneck, or said redneck took that picture in a mirror. It's all the rage these days.

If you do not like the location of the ProClip, go to ProFit and look at thir dash brackets because they may have it in a different location.
Then you go back to ProClip to get the cradle. Eh? Grunt!

I had to go to the app on my phone to see that pic (work blocked it) but it was so worth it!
I know, I know. I'm not sure I'd want to own one either. I just know I'd like to learn how to handle them.
