[quote=chmcke01;21223232 I don't like the curved glass screen of the "leaked" pictures I have seen.[/quote]

The video teaser exaggerated the amount of curve.

Here is a better representation of the Nexus Prime phone's shape:



I think it looks pretty cool, will resist scratching (from sitting it down screen first) and will increase privacy.

I think I'm going with the Samsung Galaxy S 2.

I currently have an iPhone 3G and want a bigger screen. Plus I'm bored with iOS. I like to tinker and I think the GS2 will suit me just fine. I'll probably get my wife an iPhone 4GS so I can mess around with Siri, but other than that I can only see it being a novelty (until it can manage the entire phone and more apps).

I might wait a bit to see the Nexus Prime, but I didn't really care for the last two Nexus phones and and don't need to have the latest and greatest.

I think the Samsung GS2 with Ice Cream Sandwich will last for another two years.

I love the design of the white iPhone and the easier to use camera, but that's it. The camera on the SGS2 is no slouch and really I don't really use it that much anyway. I mainly browse the web, check email and check Facebook.

Can anyone help me figure out a possible size comparison? I created this by sizing the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S2 to their actual sizes and then adding another copy of the picture of the Galaxy S2 resized to the dimensions of the Galaxy S2 Epic. You can see it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39762266/Phone%20size%20comparison.pdf (broken link)

As I said, my main goal is to see a comparison of size between the iPhone 4 (my current phone) the AT&T Galaxy S2 (my current top upgrade pick), and a "best guess" of the size of the Nexus Prime. If anyone could help with something like that I would greatly appreciate it.

That's so annoying.
What makes it THE BEST can I ask?

As I often say I like them all. They all have pros and cons.
There is no BEST.

Also, anyone have any idea what it will cost for AT&T? Most are $199 for the smaller capacity with upgrade and really if it will be much more than that then it really isn't an option. I plan to pay for my next phone by selling my iPhone 4, and since I am not eligible for upgrade for a little over a month I am guessing used iPhone 4s won't be going for all that much anymore.

iPhone 4s will sell very well. $300-$400.

Heck, my damaged iPhone 3g will sell for about $50-$100.

well... i couldn't wait for the nexus prime. Verizon had a sale, all (most?) phones for 1 cent.

so instead of waiting and possibly paying $200, $300 for the googlephone, i went with a motorola droid bionic for $0.01.

I went for the Galaxy S2 with Sprint. Old phone is being turned into an attachment for a gatling gun arm. Best decisions ever.

Well, I am sold on the Galaxy Nexus if it comes to AT&T. So, I am holding out hope.

I think the odds are good it comes out on AT&T, but it may not be until Q1 or Q2 2012.
