@TheLondonExchange Screen is just a few mm smaller, but that's probably coz the screen is gonna be a bit wider to better fit the new resolution, i guess the size will be less than 1% smaller/bigger.
Why?! When all that matters is pixel density, right!? Sarcasm...
Can't wait for the keynote: "and we have doubled the pixel density! (while making the screen smaller)" just like they made the iPhone 3g have "thinner" edges (but fatter body). Love the spin!
@lmwong I kind of agree with you on the whole double pixel density smaller / same size screen. It almost defeats the purpose. The only thing that a higher density would do on a similar sized screen is clear up fonts for somewhat easier reading when not zoomed in all the way. Otherwise there will be very few noticeable differences.
HD2 is big, but damn if the screen isn't beautiful. It's absolutely lovely at that size while still being easy to carry. The ease and beauty of watching a movie, surfing, reading an ebook on it is unparalelled atm.
It's actually a much more comfortable "tablet" than the iPad, which is what stopped me completely from making an impulse iPad buy.
If it was less than 4 inches, it would have been too small to really take advantage of the pixels.
I'm with you. If apple comes out with the same 3.5' screen I'm getting myself an iPad and getting me an android. Sprint $69.99 unlimited everything and the EVO 4G. Never though I would say this I love you iPhone but enough is enough.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.

I need some new iPhone 4G rumors Engadget..I need to know for sure if the screen is going to be larger or smaller...

@lmwong
Agreed.
Bigger screen = better (to a point). Have you seen the 4.3 inchers on phones like the HD2....freakin beautiful!
