Maybe Samsungs/Googles measurements were the chord of the curved screen arc.
The gender of the measurer may play a roll in this also

Perhaps its not taking into account the contour, were the user measurements taken with the ruler bent to the screen?was thinking it could be an average, but (4.43+4.72)/2 = 4.575. who knows where that mysterious 4.65 number came from.

I would also add that it was thanks to his leaks that the droid charge has as much gingerbread development that it did. Being the last 4g phone to receive gingerbread(just yesterday/today), it didn't get a lot of support, and still to this date has no official CM support.
But like what was said a few posts ago, his ranting about verizon not carrying the nexus really left a sour taste for those here from the beginning.

Didn't see this! When are you starting it this wknd?
My bad - you cats are fine.
Off-topic is fine, until we get sufficient reported complaints, or until it turns into a thread hijack.
The other guy is venting displeasure at most of my posts, I think it's disruptive, that's what I was asking to have at end.
I'll be hitting beer-thirty myself in no time and I think watching Episode IV is a must.
How's that?
Actually, no. My post had nothing to do with yours. I think you're a great Mod. You have a talent for explaining technical things, of which you have great knowledge, in a way us plebs can understand. It had more to do w/ this place being treated like a kindygarten at times, by some.

That was why we bought it at first. How can you pass up a name like that?? Then we found out its good too! Lol.
Yes!
Can the SciFi geek stuff and get some of the great classic movies of my youth:
Stripes
Airplane!
Hollywood Knights
Mr. Mom
Animal House
Caddyshack
Blues Brothers
These are some very funny flicks. You won't be disappointed.
Mr Mom I've seen! Are you proud??
I've seen parts of some of the others, just not the whole thing

Total screen is looking to be 4.72" and viewable screen left when smart buttons are up is still a whopping 4.43" - and I guess both are viewing real estate, it just depends if the app is displaying the smart buttons (normally) or not (watching movies or whatnot, I think).
By the way, in that link, I show the comparison measurements to a 4.3" 16:9 display - might be of interest as well.
C'mon, beer thirty!
I'm anticipating a dev creating a way to disable the on-screen buttons "on by default" and enable a "swipe up gesture" from the bottom edge of the screen to bring them up. All screen= epic win. I believe its doable considering ICS gives the app devs the ability to easily make their apps scale to different screen sizes. Could be fun.

Depends...don't they drink warm beer across the pond, and look down on us and our frosty brews?
Off to watch the great night of comedy ABC offers on Wednesday nights - if only I could come back to news of a Nexus release...
No. It looks accurate.
Until Verizon announces something, there is no need for somebody's guess.

Don't believe they were judging by his post, and that would make it larger anyhow.
Yeah, that's what led me to start that thread. I've seen too many favorable, in-depth blog posts talking about the screen size being 4.7" - and like you, it seemed to me that there must be a story there.
I was expecting to find that it was 4.65" and maybe the bloggers had an imprecise ruler.
I was expecting a pretty warped aspect ratio or maybe not as much real real-estate (if you get my meaning) compared to a 4.3" phone with hard buttons and maybe there was just something that marketing was covering up the way marketing always seems to do, if that makes sense.
So, I don't get it - talking Google here -
- Did some focus group object to 4.7" so 4.65 is better, like 4.99 isn't 5 bucks to (some) people?
- And what's up with the screen being spec'd in inches in the UK? We've had a playful us vs. the metric system thread with our cousins in the Lounge - I'm think it's pretty clear it's metric or nothing for those cats.
- Did they have some spec translation error along the way?
- Did they have some production thing where they were happy with 4.7" displays but already committed the promotions?
Based on the phone width alone, I did some math and expected to uncover some lies somewhere, probably with aspect ratio - because I saw a movie being shown with the soft buttons in one vid. But with soft buttons, the aspect ratio is 1.64 - think 16.4:10 - pretty close to 16:9, closer than I'd expected when using 4.65" as a reference.
It's a mystery to me.
Started as just casual talk and everyone got thirsty....P3 tweet may have played a roll but we are waiting for a confirmation on that.

When I was in MN we went to my grandparents bank to get my grandma's will in Lucan,MN. They have a microbrewery out back Brau Brothers, with some fantastic beers. The Old 56 was an excellent light lager, and the Moojuice was one of the best cream stouts I had ever had. Mmmm I wish I could go back.
