A bunch of negative Nancys here. Everyone here was so quick to believe a guy with over 600 posts and a join date of March 2011, yet you're so skeptical about a guy who's been with HoFo since '04 with a decent reputation. On top of that, 80% of these replies are pointless: "Skeptical, guy has a stupid name". -_- Whether or not it's true, let's break down some silly logic here right now.
1) Side scrolling app drawer. As definitely conveyed, he's an average Joe. It's totally possible he's only ever used stock Android, and never touched touchwiz before. Iphone doesn't really count since there isn't a true app drawer. But besides all of this, you guys being so stuck on disputing his claim by this alone is ridiculous.
2) Someone mentioned a better processor... What processor do you expect them to use? Besides maybe the Exynos, the OMAP4 processors are the best performing processors currently available in phones. How do you expect them to use better? A quad-core processor that's probably half a year away or more? News flash: current Android can't fully utilize the true potential of a dual-core SoC and there are 0, count them, 0 apps written and optimized for dual-core.
3) MP on the camera is somewhat odd, however, we know that this is based off the Targa, which was originally shown to us sporting a 13MP camera. Who honestly knows whether or not 13MP is what we'll see on the final product, but we know for a fact that there are several prototypes of this phone floating around. Be open-minded to the possibility that things can change instantly, and that we officially know nothing about this phone other than hear-say.
4) To the guy saying everything we've seen so far has pointed to a 4.5"... you're wrong. It's been stated to death that the original leaks pictured next to the Defy is definitely a 4.3" screen. If the released form factor is anything similar to that then it's gonna be a 4.3". Not saying the possibility of a 4.5 is out of the question, just that from what we've seen it's actually more feasible to be a 4.3.
5) HoFo has way more reputable insiders than AC and so far no one is refuting anything other than the cam.
You can believe whatever you want, of course, and skepticism isn't a bad thing. But let's have some constructive conversation about it rather than "hmm.... I'm skeptical" because seriously... must you waste space posting a menial point 20 other people have already stated? It's like the "me too" and +1 posts.
