Yeah, why not. Just invite me in!

rabhw · Oct 18, 2011

Do we have a confirmed host for the hangout? If so who so I can circle them and they can circle me back :3

Deleted member 22576 · Oct 18, 2011

Cool, well it should be up like a half hour before the event.
That is if all these people show up.

^Good question! Who wants to host?

Can't wait for the event, though.

Feel free to go ly dow.

Who's going to ly dow now?

JonathanEx · Oct 18, 2011

Looking at the phone, I think I must stand up rather than ly down.

So what's Nokia up to these days, now that's a sexy phone.

I will buy an inferior chipset if it gives me the curve in the promo, no joke.

They're looking for a buyer, I think. Why? Are you interested?

That back looks bland as hell, as least the Nexus S was Glossy.

Not yet. But I'm not gonna stay up 'til 4.

Besides, if the Nexus S taught me anything, it's that in the 6 hours preceding the reveal, everything there is to know will be known. Someone's probably going to find the presentation on Google docs in a few minutes. Thank god they just refreshed all of that this morning.

I don't know why, but I don't want a flat screen. I think I've developed a phobia.

VanWinkle · Oct 18, 2011

Poop, there's not actually a curve (or it's just really slight). Still excited.

kehs · Oct 18, 2011

So...I guess I'm holding on to my N1 for a little bit longer.

=(

Someone get raistlin in here.

Then I guess you won't get the Galaxy Nexus S Prime?

Oh, and if you buy Nokia, you can force them to implement a real curved screen. How about that?

It's their way of keeping the body thin and then cramming a bunch of shit into the end.

Samsung and Google are probably trying to push the sales of this phone with the Galaxy brand, which became somewhat popular (S and SII apparently sold over 30m units).

It's still a terrible name.

Samsung started the subtle hump for ergonomics (and it's awesome), Google went balls out with the Nexus S.

That's another thing that hump looks like the SII hump and not the Nexus hump.

Zeppu · Oct 19, 2011

I have no idea. According to the original teaser, the power button and those three dock/charging connectors were on the other side as well.

WTF samsung. Seriously.

Whats up with the charger port? The docking port. The three dots.
OH I see the image was mirrored.

They probably wanted to fool the Apple lawyers.

"Damn, it's curved. No chance here. Lets move one. Did you guys prepare the Galaxy S3 lawsuit?"

The N9 and nokia 800 have curved screens, though

Zeppu · Oct 19, 2011

Well, yeah the image was mirrored, but isn't that incredibly stupid for a non symmetrical product. Next they'll be showing iOS versions of software on their android phone adverts.

Technosteve · Oct 19, 2011

The nokia N9 is the best phone ever made

Korey · Oct 19, 2011

Can someone tell me what's so great about a curved screen?

I'm looking forward to the the Nokia WP7 but would just like to know the pros of it

Zeppu · Oct 19, 2011

If you put it face down on a table, no part of your screen ever touches the surface.

Also, sexy. Curves are always sexy.

If I'm being honest, for me it's irrational, it just looks boss.

Only the glass is cuved at the edges. That doesn't count. I want curved glass and a curved screen.

It's a trick to make it look like the icons are on the surface of the screen. The N9/800's screen is convex and not concave I believe.

That's weird...I'm trying to imagine the appeal of a concave screen and don't really see it.

Doesn't matter. We're not really getting it anyway. That was just to help us create an irrelevant thread topic title.

or should I say =|

The curve of the phone also helps with accidently palm touching of the screen, it's sort of a "bridge" reaching over.

It's a flagship device, why would it be cheap? And didn't rumors say it was $299 on Verizon?

the i9250 is the cdma/gsm model, the other one is the LTE cdma model.

OriginalThinking · Oct 19, 2011

A few things from that video. Touch to focus in the camera and it shoots quickly. Really quickly. It seems very, very smooth. Lots of blue. More than I thought. Buttons as expected rotate with screen orientation. Touching the bottom of the screen in the camera kicks the phone back into the app tray.

BootlegSnackz · Oct 19, 2011

can someone please photoshop the nexus into a picture of bane breaking batman's back so we can get more curve please
