That looks very nice, I must admit. Better than the plastic slabs.

[citation][nom]house70[/nom]- Apple takes technology already available (esp. freely available code, see their OS), gives it a small design twist and then patents it;-after that, it start suing everyone else that uses the same technology, in a genuine patent troll style;-they turned open systems into closed ones, forbidding any innovation that does not come directly from them;-they've ripped their customers off with their overpriced gadgets for years, forbidding them to use any other devices that might have been compatible with their OS (see hackintosh cases);-they are the prototype of off-shoring, the model for any other greedy company to aspire;-despite their huge profit margins, they continue to do nothing about the working conditions of the ones who actually build their devices;-due to their current popularity, they are becoming a genuine threat to the spirit of freedom of technological innovation worldwide. In a Apple world, the guys from XDA would be thrown in jail because of innumerate "infringements";-...-...Just a few possible reasons I can think of right now. Others are free to chime in.Last but not least, I am not a hater of any sorts, I can't be, partly due to my profession; I just see things as they are, and FYI, I can afford to purchase ANY piece of technology I wish. I just choose to... have a choice, and I exercise my choice carefully. That's it; I am not engaging in any flame war on this forum, so anyone tempted, don't bother. I would rather spend some constructive time on the hardware posts forum, helping people the best I can with their H/W or S/W issues in my spare time. Been doing that for a while and gives me pleasure.[/citation]


AMEN TO THAT! =)

So when Samsung increases the screen size of its phones, it's criticized as being ridiculous, stupid, and desperate but when Apple does it, then it's okay, right?

Who is criticizing Samsung? Is it anyone worth paying attention to? ...didn't think so. One of the nice things about Android phones is that there's a size and shape for just about everyone. Apple only offers a one-size-fits-all (which is just fine with me). I have little hands but a phone would have to have a 5"+ screen before I started to think it was too big.

Not just that. When Apple does it, it is considered innovation!

I will soooo be done with the iPhone if they decide to make this ugly ass phone! I love Apple and have had an iPhone since they came out, but if they make the screen longer and not wider I see a Samsung Focus SII in my future. Needless to say last year I was pissed off that they released another glorified iPhone 4. If they disappoint me again it's bye-bye Apple time!
