I'm not believing Kellex until he provides some sort of source. He continues to say September but without a source other than someone telling him.

+1 thats what I said in the other thread... Name your source, post this supposed report for us to critique, or stop trying to induce fear and gain hits for your site.

Motorola reps are telling VZW folks that they should expect the device in “early September.

I understand what you guys are saying but you cant reveal sources in a position like that or guess what, you loose your sources... So all you can go by is if you believe them or not. I haven't seen anything from Droid-Life that has made me think they are just randomly making stuff up. They hear something that they believe holds weight and want to share that with us. I for one appreciate that. If you want them to wait to announce something until its public knowledge we wouldn't need people like them. We would get the same public announcement that they would be getting.

Not sure if I am a fan of the lip or not. However, I think it is very exaggerated in that photo because of the way that the flash highlighted it. May not be nearly that bad in real life...

How many times do we need to post the SAME article?

I thought the same thing, but if you're holding it landscape and didn't have that lip, wouldn't your thumb accidentally be hitting those buttons all the time?

That lip will ruin the phone. Lets hope this isn't true.

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

If that lips there they might as well suprise us and put a slider keyboard underneath the sreen like the droids 1,2 and 3! Now that would make it the ultimate phone cuz seeing how big it is iit could fit a pretty large keyboard

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

Oh well. I'm officially giving up on August 4th. Looks like I have two options with my Costco 90-days: Sell my Charge and buy the Bionic outright or hope the GSII comes out before the 23rd and is 4G and buy that. The latter is definitely the optimal situation.

The lip is necessary for landscape.

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.

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

if a lip was necessary, the iphone and samsungs and nexus' would have a lip too

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

If you notice pretty much ever Android phone has space below the capacitive buttons. It just isn't as noticeable because other phones aren't so pronounced. My Thunderbolt has a "lip".

Seems like they have a bit more space, though, good point...except on the iPhone. It doesn't have capacitive buttons.

iPhone has a decent amount of room on the bottom for home screen and top for speaker.
