4.65" screen a joke? Or is it just me?

[hal1]

What am I missing? Other than watching videos, this screen is hardly 4.65. After the space that the soft buttons at the bottom take up this is no larger than my 4.3 T-bolt. Web page viewing is the same, right>

The screen uses .3 of the space for the buttons, so it is technically a 4.3" screen.

Yes, that is correct. This was explained very clearly prior to its release so no surprise here...

Seems to be the GN screen is the perfect size for a phone.

But it's not a joke when you are doing something that uses the whole screen and the buttons are gone. Like watching videos for instance..... the entire screen is utilized.

The useable screen is smaller than my DroidX with the buttons and stupid google bar on each page and that's no joke! Icons are icons but widgets need space and this phone takes it away from the previous generation of 4.3" phones. I may return it on the reason alone....I like widgets!

By my measurements the screen without the soft buttons on the bottom is about 4.37"

I put the Nexus right up against my Droid X and I can assure you there is less space between the google bar and soft buttons.

I think alot of issues people are having with these phones wouldn't have been a problem had people actually research the phone for more than 3 minutes. The google bar and on screen buttons thing has been known for well over a month now.

Definitely less space. It's a joke in my book as well. If I buy a 50" TV, I don't expect to see a search bar and buttons taking up part of the screen! :'(

Can't you just use a different launcher if you're that butthurt about it?

LOL.. Android patrons are really picky. I have a 4.65" screen when I watch movies. I'm happy!

Remove the google search bar and get over it. Simple enough. Anybody who uses that as an excuse either doesnt know how to customize their device or is looking for reasons to return it.

I sort of liked it when I got my nexus one...no one had one unless they knew what it was and what it was for.

I'm noticing lots of people buying this phone that knew nothing about it than the name...

LOL... I dont see how expecting to get a 4.65 screen but only getting a 4.2373737 screen is being picky. :-*
