In the circles that would discuss a new android handset it is still front page news. Even compared to it's own SG2 the Prime looks mediocre. The buzz from all the spec 'leaks' has been pretty disappointing and google probably googled the feedback and decided to postpone. No nead to rush out product that is buggy and incomplete like the half baked Honeycomb.

I agree. Only thing that excited me about prime was ice cream, but other than that the hardware specs seemed on par with apple aka fail.

When it Comes to Smartphone Displays, Does Size Matter?
Over the last few years, there’s consistently been one feature about the iPhone I’d hoped Apple would change. Its display size. Say what you want about portability, but a 3.5″ screen is far from ideal for any kind of extended web browsing.
Needless to say, the Cupertino company hasn’t touched the iPhone’s screen size, and I’ve always kind of wondered why. Recently I came across an article byDustin Curtis, a designer, that offers some interesting thoughts on Apple’s reasoning…
In the post, Curtis talks about an epiphany he had while using his recently purchased Samsung Galaxy S II:
Several tech writers have picked up on the article, and it has moved them to publish their own opinions. Here’s Marco Arment on the matter:
If you ask me, an iPhone with a 3.7-4.0-inch display would be perfect. Users would enjoy the larger viewing area, and could still comfortably operate the handset with one hand. What’s your idea of the perfect smartphone screen size?

In the post, Curtis talks about an epiphany he had while using his recently purchased Samsung Galaxy S II:
“When you first see a phone with a 4-inch or larger screen, it seems like a much better experience. I thought it was a technical decision, and it could be, but since switching to an Android phone — a Samsung Galaxy S II — 15 days ago, I have realized another huge downside of larger screens: when holding the phone with one hand, I can’t reach the other side of the screen with my thumb.”
He goes on to explain that trying to touch the upper right hand of his Galaxy S II’s 4.2″ display with one hand is frustrating, and nearly impossible. With his iPhone 4, however, he found that he could reach the other side of the screen without straining.
Several tech writers have picked up on the article, and it has moved them to publish their own opinions. Here’s Marco Arment on the matter:
“As a four-year iPhone user, I’ve never thought, “You know what I don’t like about this phone? The screen’s too small. I’d like to reduce my battery life, and I’d like my phone to protrude from my pocket in a larger and more conspicuous rectangle to achieve a larger screen that I cannot comfortably use one-handed. That would be completely worth it.”
I agree with Arment in the fact that I don’t think I would want my iPhone much bigger than it already is. But I do enjoy the extra screen real estate on my girlfriend’s Droid Bionic when browsing around eBay and other websites.
If you ask me, an iPhone with a 3.7-4.0-inch display would be perfect. Users would enjoy the larger viewing area, and could still comfortably operate the handset with one hand. What’s your idea of the perfect smartphone screen size?

You would buy a lump of **** if apple put their name on it, oh wait you already havefor the people that think the iphone 4S is a disappointment, need to wake up.
Not because it didn't get a re-design, its a disappointment, it did get major internal upgrades.
Not to be surprised, but as always, an iphone 5 should be ready by June 2012(normally).
its a World Phone - GSM/CDMA.
Siri - an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking.
64GB
Bluetooth 4.0
Talk time:
Up to 8 hours on 3G(1 more hour than iphone 4)
Up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM)
Standby time: Up to 200 hours

Dual-core A5 chip.
The most powerful iPhone processor ever.
Two cores in the A5 chip deliver up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics.[SUP]1[/SUP] And you’ll feel the effects. Fast. iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when you’re launching apps, browsing the web, gaming and doing just about everything. And no matter what you're doing, you can keep on doing it. Because the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life.
iPhone 4S is great for gamers. The A5 chip pushes graphics up to seven times faster. So games run smoother and they’re even more realistic. And graphics-intensive apps perform even better.
The dual-core A5 chip delivers up to two times more processing power, which makes iPhone 4S even more responsive. Pages load quicker. Gameplay is better. And everything just feels faster.
Video stabilization removes unwanted motion caused by unsteady hands. And if you’re recording a scene with subjects in both the foreground and the background, the camera focuses where you want with a tap.
This just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you’ve got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced colour accuracy, face detection and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should. And just wait until you see the photos.
iPhone 4S is the first phone to intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive, so call quality is better. It also doubles the maximum HSDPA data speeds to 14.4 Mbps.[SUP]7[/SUP] Which means faster connections, faster loading and reloading and faster downloads. And iPhone 4S is a world phone, so you can use it almost anywhere. Whether you’re a GSM or CDMA customer, you can roam GSM networks in 200 countries around the world.
Maximum Data Download Speeds (HSDPA)
iPhone 4S 14.4 Mbps
iPhone 4 7.2 Mbps
To top it off with the amazing iOS 5.

You were the one going on and on about the iphone 5 being released this yr, and how incredible it is, how it's going to change the the industry ect. Well it's still an iphone4 and it's still garbage. Maybe it's time you admitted that Apple isn't the great creator any more. It's amazing how the fanboys can't admit failure when it comes to Apple. The release of the iphone4 S is a complete let down, even I was anticipating something special from Apple this time. This confirms that Apple is on the same road as RIM. The rest of the cell world is running away from Apple, and by time they actually release something good it'll be way too late.

There's the problem, they aren't real releases, but minor upgrades. You say they released an iphone white , so what they changed a colour, lmfao, be deal. It's time for Apple to **** or get off the pot.
You would buy a lump of **** if apple put their name on it, oh wait you already have
Sorry, just had to LOL at this post.

i would buy anything apple releases if i have the cash to spare, but i have to like it, and it makes sense for me to get.
You were the one going on and on about the iphone 5 being released this yr, and how incredible it is, how it's going to change the the industry ect.
i guarantee you, by reading all my recent posts(which i just did, closest is #1073, but quoted), i did not say anything ...i did say i wanna get an iphone 5, but nothing about apple releasing an iphone 5 on their next event, all i said was "apple will release a new iphone this year", thats it, nothing about expectations. The media did that. However, if you do find one, please quote it!!!!!!
What i did say though, was....quoted from "HP pad instead of iPad" thread
adding iMessage in there too, but it is said to have 200+ features. iOS 5.
Well it's still an iphone4 and it's still garbage.
i pre-ordered the iPhone 4Same already, should i cancel??????!!!!!
i did it on rogers reserve site, i am #1722 on the reserve list at 2pm...my brother is #14 on the list.
Maybe it's time you admitted that Apple isn't the great creator any more.
Apple is not the great creator anymore!!!!
It's amazing how the fanboys can't admit failure when it comes to Apple. The release of the iphone4 S is a complete let down, even I was anticipating something special from Apple this time.
Sales are doing well, but you don't know that...you are probably waiting to see the line-ups, to judge!!
This confirms that Apple is on the same road as RIM.
Its been said that Steve Jobs worked hard through his illness, since he knew his time was coming, and left the company with 4-5 years worth of innovation....lets wait a bit before speculating that, about a company that made it to # 1 this year above Exxon.
The rest of the cell world is running away from Apple, and by time they actually release something good it'll be way too late.
Thats funny...AT&T, Verizon and Sprint will cary the iPhone now, and most providers in Canada...Oh and its Worldwide too(hence World Phone).....take your time, the phone is not even released yet.
this is madness!!!!!!!

the 3GS will always be able to jailbreak, a jailbreak for iOS 5 is already working, no need to worry.
only devices fully affected is the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, but 5 exploits were found, and they(jailbreakers) are waiting for iphone 4S and iOS 5 full release, before they release a jailbreak for iOS 5, expect a jailbreak soon, shouldn't be a long wait this time.
This should come as no surprise.
Many "celebs" are worth more dead, than they are alive.

Zing! LOL
