HTC has a new phone with a 4.3" touch screen. So there are larger devices coming. HTC also apparently has new ads just to get their name out there as the ad barely shows a phone...although its a Sprint hero they do show. It's more an ad about HTC having a phone that can match your different needs.
I've also read the 5mp cam isn't all that great, but those who look at just mp count don't know enough to care about good pics anyway.

I am sure that the Droid will cover a number of the bases that the iPhone does not handle. This should not surprise anyone. Had the Droid developers and engineers not been able to observe and take note of potential features that were lacking in the iPhone, they could have been accused of gross incompetence. It is actually pretty easy to note what is lacking in an existing product, and decide to make those features available in one you are in the process of conceiving. As more "smart" phones hit the market in the future, I suspect we are going to see a reversal of the penchant for making ever smaller ones, with more of the feature laden devices becoming larger and larger in order to accommodate the components required to make the phone able to do things such as hurl that bowling ball down the lane for you. Okay, that's a bit silly, but you get the point...i guess. Phone makers will have to initiate a new paradigm in advertising to cause consumers to embrace bigness as opposed to smallness. After all, a big phone makes for a much more noticeable and impressionable item when it comes to bragging rights as in, "Look at the size of that dude's phone!" Steve PS: As suspected, that 5MP camera in the Droid is fairly noisy from reviews I have read, pretty much negating any advantage 5MP should be expected to have over 3MP. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscript... ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
