I don't know about that. We don't really know until the announcement what's what. But if true, between the apparently persistent top search block and a (perhaps persistent) bottom soft button row, it seems like we would be losing 3/4" or more of total height. I mean, my Fascinate now is 4" and that would have more usable screen space than this if this is correct. Am I missing something here?
Yeah I think so. I mean, the extra search bar at the top isn't taking up a extra row of icons or anything, you're still getting a 4x4 space. The buttons at the bottom are maybe eating up a tiny bit of space, but remember, the nice thing about software buttons is that they can go away when you want to use the whole 4.6 inches- like when you're web browsing or looking a pics or video. The search bar, from what we've seen, is only present on the home screens. The browser will likely have a search icon in the url bar or, hey, maybe they'll add it to the soft buttons at the bottom. I mean, again, they're software buttons - they can do whatever they want with them.
