hI hear people say that well, it's not really a 4.65" display because there are soft keys and they take up
space on the screen that is unusable. This is a rant that was especially loud by Leo Leport.
I've heard others say that the soft keys are a waste of space and they prefer the hard button keys of their trusty old phone.
Bunk, I say. This is garbage by those that haven't used this phone or haven't used it much.
The entire screen DOES get used when appropriate and the soft keys just bow out and get overlaid.
Try it yourself. Go into Netflix and watch a hidef show. Battle Star Galactica is a good example. When it starts playing it waits for a second and then, boom, it exxpands to full screen and uses every pixel on the screen to play the video. Tap on the screen when it's playing and you'll see the video shrink down and show the back and home buttonns again. Wait a second and it expands to full screen again.
If you don't have Netflix then go into Youtube and play a hidef video. The Christmas one with Mariah Carry is a particularly pleasing one. Same thing. Full screen goodness.
So, for those of you whining about soft keys or not getting to use the whole screen, well, there it is. Stop complaining.
