I thought as much, that thing is huge, there is simply no way it would be the size of an iPhone and still have bezel around the screen, the screen itself is almost as big as an entire iPhone.

Samsung will need to fix their details, must have been posted in a rush.

I've asked Samsung for a correction and I will update the specs as soon as I hear from them. The faulty specs seems to have come from the Galaxy Wave Y page

Samsung introduced this as a "fourth" device along with the smartphone, tablet, and laptop..

It fits between the smartphone and the tablet of course..

While in reality it is a tablet optimised to be used as a smartphone!
Does it fit in the pocket? No.
Could it be handled by single hand? No.
So it's not a phone!

Are we now men of giants? 5.3 from Samsung...4.7 from HTC

Why just can't they put all the goodness in a pocket friendly, palm friendly size...about 4' display.

I think they have already... in the Galaxy 2, but here they're clearly trying to make a market between that and the 7.7 tablet in order to cover all ground

Probably a show-off device to amaze even the hardest core iphone users, a phone with 5.3" HD screen, wonder if they've already beaten retina with that pixel density. and the CPU is twice as fast as Arc S theoretically, sadly until we see Ice Cream Sandwich on this, the dual core is a gimmick.

Maybe, but not for the ladies hand , these large, thin phones are very uncomfortable to hold, when you have small hands.

I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore iphone user, but for the last few years it has held my attention though android has been tempting and I have had the Desire, Galaxy and Galaxy II among others during that time.

But its interesting that 4 years after the iphone launch that there are still people hoping that a new device can outdo the current spec iphone (in the quoted case here) or previously of the unnanounced spec iphone 5 (as in the case of the Galaxy S II LTE)!

It seems the iphone is still the milestone for all those that would seem to still not want this device after all his time but nonetheless want something that matches it

How awkward would it be to hold that against your ear?

when you put it like that... I guess so

as long as it comes with an all-in-one content management solution, that is all I really ask over and above the actual phone choice
