Re: Not only September release, but the phone looks like the droi

Oh I don't mind the lip, I think it looks fine. My droid has one so I like it for better support holding the phone.


It isn't the looks that I'm worried about with the lip. It's the functionality.

My HTC Incredible is 100% flat and I can flick off the sides without my fingers getting caught/gummed up in the lip.

The lip will be a large hindrance to my touch screen scrolling - that is why I never purchased a case because it adds that lip.

Are you sure that lip is raised above the screen? Otherwise I don't see how it effects scrolling at all.

Are you referring to the slightly raised edges around the screen? I never heard that being to referred to as a lip, just the bottom of the phone.

Idk the pic is really not clear enough to be sure... but it looks very much like the model seen in the car/desk dock thread:

In which case, doesn't seem like so much of a protruding 'lip' to me.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you guys are calling this a lip... Lips are only on sliders. It's when the bottom of the phone is longer than top part. This, my friends, is a "chin". xD A lot of phones have them, in fact, I'd say most phones do: Droid X, Nexus One, Thunderbolt...

Re: Not only September release, but the phone looks like the droi

I guess we have different definitions of lips. I'm talking about the outer upper edge of the touch screen which appears to be raised - will be very annoying.

No, there is no different definition. It's what everyone's called it since back before you were probably into phones. Sorry if you didn't catch onto that. Now you know!

That most recent "leaked" pic on DL to me doesn't really look like it has that chrome trim to it that the pics in the Amazon doc photos clearly had. I know this most recent photo is pretty dark and not focused all that great, so maybe that's why it doesn't look like it's the same to me. I kind of wonder if this is a "new" leaked pic but something that's probably been sitting around somewhere for a couple of months....maybe from around the same time as the previously leaked photos we had back in June.....

Just my observations though.....

Lip, Chin, whatever...have we stooped so low that we can post 3 pages about this item? How about worrying when the damn phone is being released; then you can argue all you want! :)

Re: Not only September release, but the phone looks like the droi

My question them is: Why are you willing to disclose information about the SGSII, but not the Bionic?

excellent point! not a clue... maybe it's because the GS2 is closer to launch than the Bionic (which would lend credence to the rumors that GS2 is coming Aug, and Bionic in Sep)???
