Don't know if this is the right place but...


Where the heck are the normal sized Tegra 2 phones? I would LOVE to see something like the HTC Shift / Merge but with:
  • Tegra 2
  • Front Facing Camera
  • LTE
  • Extra Large Battery
  • Keyboard (Obviously)
  • Normal Sized Screen, but a resolution as close to 1080p as is economically feasible.
  • Notification LED (multicolor would be nice)

So basically a smaller thunderbolt with a keyboad and a better battery (oh and Tegra, but that ain't happening unfortunately)

I'm not surprised they aren't making them, but I do think they should make a few at 3.7". I really like 3.7" screens as do many others, but will be ok with a 4". Thats my limit for a "pocket phone." Most new phones seem to be going 4.3" which is too big to comfortably hold in my hand (ala EVO), so as long as they release good 4" phones like the Atrix, I'm good

I agree with this topic

I actually feel the Droid Incredible is the perfect size for a phone.

If HTC would release another Incredible but with top of the line specs (since the original incredible has been out for a while) I would be in heaven

That's how I feel about the droid. Droid2 wasn't really enough for me to upgrade to...and especially so once I figure out how to root my droid1.

Gimme a droid with tegra2 plz. Atrix with keyboard would be perfect. (Atrix is 4" screen?)

My feelings exactly, 4" is the limit to what I want in a phone that I can comfortably use and carry around. Not everyone wants a 4.5" screen to lug around in their back pocket.

The screen size is 4". The phone size is a little over 4.5" but thats not the issue.

Im sure there will be some 3.7 in phones coming out this year. The size is just to convenient qand popular to ignore. I think that many manufacturers are making larger sizes in an attempt to really outshine the iphones small screen. The huger popularity of the Droid X and the Evo 4g didn't hurt either in sure.
