Sure, a five-inch phone may not be everyone's cup of tea, but with devices starting to join the 4.3-inch party, consumers will undoubtedly be considering devices with more screen real estate -- the Google Maps screen comparison above probably says it all. We applaud Dell for taking one step ahead and going for the pocketable size limit, and the company's definitely earned its worldwide attention."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1276127409.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>The screen size will be love it or hate it for a lot of people. Personally, I think I'd like a device with that size screen, but I'd like to hold it first. However, 800x480 seems low compared to say the Droid's 854x480 at 3.7 inches and especially the new iPhone's 960x640 at 3.5 inches. If they get that issue resolved and get a more current version of Android (currently running 1.6) I might contemplate an upgrade if this is available on Verizon in the US. </p><p><em></em></p>
