Looks like Sprint SGS2 is a little smaller than Infuse in height, width by a few millimeters with smaller bezel. That helps a little if attain is like that.

I'm normally in route home at 6 pm; I think I'm staying a little late at work to hear the good stuff
Not thrilled with the 4.5" screen, but I'll live. Guess I HAVE to go with a holster for it now. I do hope the ridiculous growth of the screens slows down soon. I'm looking for a phone, not a tablet PC (and yes, I know the distinction will soon be moot if it's not already, but still)!
I think I remember seeing a leaked Samsung product sheet and it appears that some of Sammy's new phones will be sporting a 4.6" - 5" screen!!!
With that said, Android ICS will have the navigation buttons built into the OS and will not require such a huge bezel at the bottom. This may allow them to increase the screen size without elarging the form factor...but who knows.
That sounds like a 4.3" to me. Otherwise, how could you make a phone any narrower than the Infuse, if you were still using a 4.5" screen?
I never said it didn't work. It just doesn't work well. Compared to my original EVO, my iPhone 3GS, my iPhone 4 and my Sister's Atrix and just about every other brand Android device I have seen, the GPS on the 2 Infuse's I have fought with are pure crap. Read all the threads on XDA. Lots of people are having issues with it and lots of them claim it's fine.
Why are there so many "fixes" for it to make it work "better?" Has the iPhone, and Moto 'Droids, any HTC phones has as many GPS complaints as the Samsung's (including the Infuse). Samsung's GPS in general has been just POOR. It's proabably due to the chip they use. I wouldn't care if I didn't need to use it so often.
Hopefully they have learned with this new device and that's why I am going to buy it at Costco so I have 90 days to change my mind and if it is still lousy by that time (late NOV) there will be a whole bunch of new phones out there by HTC and maybe even MotoGoogoo to replace it. Or maybe even back to the iPhone 5 (if they get the screen size up to at least 4").
The great news (if it is true) is the 4.5" screen for the Attain. Hopefully they got the rest of it right.
It may look like a tumor in some people's pocket.
I couldn't find the original source I learned about the screen sizes but found this instead...

For what its worth, the 4.65" screen is supposedly set to be on the Nexus Prime. I know I saw somewhere there was a Samsung phone coming with a 5" screen but cant' find it now.
Mr. Ed (not Mistered) supposedly "gathered" an SGSII in his hands and photographed it and never mentioned it was 4.5". Maybe his source scammed him to keep everyone off the track or maybe he was just pulling our antennae. Or maybe the rumors are just that.
News at 6 I suppose.

Seems like it's good day for sprint folks. Their SGS2 is just confirmed to have Exynos processor. Hopefully Attain also has it. I think someone here tested it already to confirm it. This is finally putting end to long lasting tegra2 or snapdragon rumors.

No LTE or 1.5ghz? Crap. I don't care about the 1.5 vs. 1.2 because it would hardly be noticeable. However, when AT&T goes to LTE, is having no LTE a breaker deal on a phone or is it the same thing with cpu's... hardly noticeable? With a 2 year commitment, I am willing to wait a little longer for an LTE phone is if it's a big deal.
My feeling is that it won't come with LTE....BUT, Sprint may have not gotten it because they don't have LTE coming on the horizon...AT&T does.
This would be a nice suprise, given we won't likely get NFC or the 1.5Ghz processor.

I don't quite get why you complain on no LTE. Doesn't Attain already have HSPA+ radio peaking at 21Mbps on AT&T? I think it will take years for their LTE coverage come anywhere near their current HSPA+. Even at 10Mbps, it would be close to average LTE speed on verizon.
Maybe there is some confusion around DL speeds.
In my limited research, I was under the impression the Verizon's LTE was pumping out avg speeds of around 20Mbps, with peaks around 30.
The HSPA+ Radios in the Infuse & the SGSII might be different (and maybe my area sucks) but the peak DL rates I was getting on my Infuse was around 7-8Mbps.
I would have expected AT&T's LTE network to run faster than that.
