That size is just about right for my hand, even an Evo seems a bit small for me, but then I have big hands

There are no physical buttons (Home key, talk, end, etc.) and are replaced by the bottom .25" of the screen instead, so I don't think it'll be much bigger than most smartphones today.

Will it be a free phone with out a contract?

What is the suggested retail price?

Why would ANY phone be free without a contract??

Since Verizon likes to charge more for their phones (even on contract) i'd say that the Prime will cost 299$ for a 2 year contract and 700-800$ out right.

Curved? House brick sized? Do not want.

 

[xtremeways]

Im impressed with the specs but seeing that its curved I would have to pass. I cant imagine it would fit well in my pocket

I think I heard that before...maybe thousands of users and I were holding it wrong.
I was getting no signal and the battery would die by 3pm after charging it the whole night.
Went back to my 15 months old HTC G2 which have never given me any issues and still the battery lasts the whole day. Even after dropping it a couple of times.

5mp rumour, then saying 8mp to try and make us feel better?
...
Very poor, very very poor
...
I would expect a flagship device to have a flagship camera, has already been around for some time so I would expect that as a minimum and to surprise us maybe even 14mp.

So far Nokia N8 has been the only flagship with a flagship camera.

1. I don't care how big the camera is. 5MP is more than enough if the sensor and lens is of decent quality. No one is printing any 8x10 photos from their phone.
2. Why with the damned narrow screen? 16:10 gives a significant improvement of useable screen space. Its a smartphone not a mini tv.

It's just a numbers race anymore.

we don't need faster phones, we need better batteries...i would love to see a 3000mAh battery...it can be done...they need to stop being lazy and do it....take a look at how small the components on a motherboard when compared to the first computers....IBM computers needed a couple of rooms for the hardware....

Yes, so far, this hasn't been released yet and the rumour mill says it has 3 year old camera tech? Why?

[citation][nom]nitrium[/nom]If it has the PowerVR GPU this beast will run rings around the new iPhone 4S. Th iPhone 4S likely won't be clocked higher than 850MHz (based on it having the same battery and battery life as iPhone4, but with iPad 2's SoC).[/citation]

Yes, a phone which doesn't exist yet and of which we know no specifications whatsoever will 'run rings' around a phone which has the same GPU (assuming the prime even has it), because we'll just guess a random number underclock and declare it as fact.
/end sarcasm

What we do know so far is that the iPhone 4S runs rings around the Galaxy S2.

I wonder if the 5 megapixel camera will run rings around the iPhone 4S camera? I remember when iPhone 4s specs were announcd 8 megapixel camera was seen as 'backward' and Apple playing 'catch-up'. Talk about ridiculous double standards.. lol

 

[watcha]

[citation][nom]darkchazz[/nom]THIS is how you do a successor! *points at apple[/citation]

With a 5 megapixel camera and the PowerVR SGX543MP2?

Isn't the iPhonr 4s an 8 megapixel camera with the PowerVR SGX543MP2?

Oh yes and it's not a brick

So sorry, what were you saying?

 

[watcha]

(and the Nexus Prime may not even have the PowerVR SGX543MP2, by the way)

 

[watcha]

'that will work alongside the same dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU that's found in the iPad 2'

Should read:

'that will work alongside the same dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU that's found in the iphone 4S'

Well have to wait and see what hardware it will have under the hood, but in all likelihood it will have a 8mpx camera or more. This phone it will be not only google's flagship phone, but also samsung's, and the current samsung flagship phone, the galaxy s 2, has an 8mpx camera.

Also most recent rumors points to an 8mpx sensor.

Again if rumors are true this will have the same cpu as a iPhone 4S/iPad 2 but with a faster cpu, but we'll have to wait and see.

The GSMArena specs are rather decent for a phone that's announced now and probably will become available December/January. That's because SHARP and Fujitsu are both set to launch a phone with identical feature set as Nexus Prime in January.

It's not always about megapixels you know, the lens system they use can also have a large impact on overall picture quality.

The Nexus is an excellent phone. But the difference between the specs , particularly the camera, is big. If the higher specs are true, I hope the price doesn't suffer very much
