I BELIEVE that most websites are of the 980 pixel wide format. If they can increase the pixel density to that and vertically by the same ratio, they\'ll be pixel-perfect for web viewing. Still, a scaled 800 is much better for full-page web viewing than when scaled to the standard 480. It certainly looks comfortable in the guy\'s hand. It\'ll be interesting to see if it catches on. I might give it a try.

Any one of the millions of presbyopic, mid 40 year olds will find this size most usefull. I hope it can be used without reading glassses .

Nice. When I saw Samsung\'s other offerings I was underwhelmed, but this looks like they finally got the point. Now let\'s hope they keep the apps that actually contribute to usefulness (like the SSL app mentioned above) and don\'t overload the phone with their own personal organizer, netflix app, hacked version of Google\'s pack, etc. they might have a winner. For me, that will make the difference between going with the amazing screen on this phone, or going with something that I don\'t have to root (or that will still look good after I root it).

Why doesnt Samsung do something better? Ever since iphone got popular every phone company has been releasing all kinds of ridiculous devices!

Most definitely want one, but worried about the comfort of single hand use. Galaxy S fits just fine in one hand while allowing navigation with the same hand

With 128GB memory and no phone, it would make a great Android version os the i=Pod Touch.

Cool! Although I just got a galaxy s2 today and its pretty awesome. It makes my already awesome HTC Desire look like a toy - similar to that quote in the article. I remember when the Dell Streak was coming out thinking that 5inches could be a good size. My mate who was using an HTC touch HD thought the Dell was excessive (he should talk!) Now that the tech is so shrinkable, I wouldn\'t be surprised if this kind of device started coming out as the same hardware but in a range of sizes. Bigger isn\'t always better - the HTC fitted in my hand better - but I\'d definitely test a larger unit down the track. BTW - I\'ve skipped the tablet thing pretty much. Between the old HTC and a netbook, I didn\'t see the point, although I have a very cheap 7\" one as an mp3 player for the car. Now with the Samsung, I reckon a tablet is even less likely for me.
