My Current Thoughts

Well I have been using my NexusOne for almost two years now. It is a great phone except for the hardware fault that means the touch screen sometimes gets itself out of calibration. It is a little annoying but not something that was a deal breaker.

I liked the solid feel of the phone, it is a lot heaver then the current offerings. At 3.7" the screen seems small by the standards of the new top spec phones coming out. But I like this screen size, the problem is that all the new phones coming out consider this size to be in the lower end of the performance market....this seems strange.

I have had a good play around with a mate of mines Galaxy S (4.0"), and another friends Galaxy SII (4.3"), also with my brothers Nexus S (4.0" curved screen). I have also spend a little time with the newish Galaxy Nexus (4.65" curved screen). Admittedly after playing with the Nexus S I felt that the 4.0" screen wasn't too big, I think it is the slight curve that makes it feel smaller then it really is. The 4.0 flat screen of the Galaxy S is big in the hand, the 4.3" screen of the SII is just too big all around for my hand. I'm sure if you have huge hands then it would seem fine.

The next phone that I am eyeing is the HTC One S, but I'm having second thoughts because of the 4.3" screen, it has the specs that I want: Snapdragon S4; 1GB of RAM; qHD screen etc..Why couldn't they make a phone with the same specs available with a 4.0" screen preferably curved.

I may wait to see where the market heads in the next couple of months. I want a "superphone" i.e. a phone with the top specs available when I buy it, and I want it in a phone that will fit in my pocket easily.
