It is ridiculously small in this day and age but i have no doubt that it will sell by the truckload.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/
Although this screen does use 30% more power than Samsung's AMOLED, but then again the Apple display is readable outside. I think Steve was being too proud when he used the IPS.]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/
Believe it or not, 3.5" is a pretty big screen to keep in your pocket. Yes, they have 4.3" screens available on other phones, but it begins to make the phone look a little silly and I don't think it would be a good fit for something like an iPhone, which is meant to appeal to a much wider audience. In any case, I still think the screen of my phone looks "big" whenever I pull it out of my pocket to use it, so I have to laugh at the people who call it "ridiculously" small. Heck, it's only .2" less diagonally (yet is wider) than top selling phones like the Droid Incredible. I guess that phone is ridiculously small too.

As for the bezel, it's something I love about my phone. It allows you to hold the phone in landscape mode and use your entire thumb to grip the side of the phone without obscuring the screen. It's very comfortable for playing games, as well as just for holding the phone when using it for web browsing or using to show pictures to friends. I wish we'd see this design in more devices, because it shows attention to detail with regards to the ergonomics of the device. ]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/I agree with you on the bezel, you really need it to hold the phone without accidentally touching the screen. But there is alot of wasted space below and even some above the screen. If they could get away from that aspect ratio, they could use some of that space without making the phone too wide. For a phone, 3.5" may be plenty large. But as web/data photo/video use become the primary use for these smartphones, 3.5" is struggling to get the job done. ]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/
Well, the top and bottom are the same. I really like these bezels. They are perfect thumb width and allow a very solid grip of the phone with the thumbs and forefingers in landscape mode. I'd be very disappointed if this design went away in favor of something with a smaller bezel, which, while looking cool, would also make the phone less comfortable for me to use. That bezel is very functional, and I am always in favor of a functional design rather than one that is purely aesthetic.

I really don't see the iPhone growing much larger in future versions. The size of the 3GS is just about at the maximum for what I would consider to be a comfortable phone to carry everywhere with you, and making it thinner with the 4th iteration will make it even more pocketable. Making it bigger WILL alienate some customers, because phones like the EVO or HD2 look over-the-top. That's cool, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Also, they aren't going to change the aspect ratio (again, something I'm thankful for), so I can't see the screen growing by more than .1-.2" at the maximum in future versions.

It's very strange, I have placed the iPhone next to 3.7" screens like the Incredible, and the Incredible's screen felt claustrophobic because it was more narrow. Perhaps because it's something I'm used to, but the wider 3.5" screen on the iPhone felt larger and more usable than the 3.7" on the Incredible. ]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/Jun 14th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/Jun 14th 2010 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/Jun 14th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/How much would I have to pay in order to pre-order it?]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/Not really the shack is recieving all the preorders we can get and lets say a store gets 300 pre orders then the store will have 600 phones]]>Jun 14th 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/best-buy-announces-official-iphone-4-pre-sale-for-june-15th/
