Long phone is looooooooong

That 4.8", 1024*480 Acer Iconia Smart went to the FCC and should be appearing on AT&T real soon now.

Dated CPU/GPU, but the screen form is neat.

Wow, you really screwed that link up...

See? Copy and paste and you'll never run into problems.

Thanks. I screwed up while moving the link in the text.

Interesting! thanks for the link, I'll be watching this one...

No worries. Happens to everybody.

That really is an odd form factor for a phone. Hard to tell from just pics though.

I think the Nokia e90 was longer.

 

[Bateluer]

Unaccceptable. Everything has to be cookie cutter form factors, with iPhone-like lines.

I love it.

I found a video review in 720p:

I'd consider buying this... I love the physical buttons instead of capacitive. It would be nice if they reduced the bezel on the top and bottom a bit, and possibly made it a little thinner. The chrome rim on the bezel irritates me though, I want to focus on the screen not the frame... Overall I'm impressed with this form factor though.

I saw a commercial for this phone just now, its freaking wide (tall?) compared to whatever other phone att was trying to sell. Not sure I would like the extra inch of phone, that almost sticks out of my front pocket.

Holster ftw?

Holster ftw?

Holsters would just be destroyed at my job, and more importantly, they are gay.

Agreed, but not everyone is trying to cram a phone in the pocket of their designer skinny jeans...

You're just jealous you don't have the lean muscular legs for skinny legs.

I would hate that phone.
