Screen Size not 4.3??

I've been thinking the same thing...the phone in the pic doesn't look proportionally the same as the HD2. If the screens were the same size then the phone pictured would be enormous!

I'm really hoping that the passion isn't 4.3" and is actually something more pocket-able. I don't mind waiting to see what is released, but if it's huge I'll probably grab an Eris.

 

It's likely that the Passion will receive a screen size much like the DROID, which might allow it to clock at the full 1GHz without detriment to the battery, unlike the Acer Liquid, under-clocked at 768MHz @ 4.3" screen.

 

Correction, the Acer has a 3.5", 800x480 screen; Sony has the 4.3". The HD2 is a big phone where the DROID fits comfortably on the SCREEN portion of the HD2, not counting the borders and buttons that extend beyond the size of the DROID. It'll definitely be big, but might help those who have a problem seeing all those pixels on the 3.7" screen. Less pixels on a bigger screen usually ends up hurting resolution, but I'll reserve judgment until I see the HD2.

 

I'm suprised by how many people carry their phones in their pockets. I have my wallet in one, and keys in the other. Phone goes on the belt. I would love a 4.3 inch screen for web page viewing! I'll take it big!

 

+1
Wallet in one pocket, keys in the other.
My phone NEVER goes in my pocket.

 

i think it is going to have the nice pocket size of 27" lol i really dont care if it has a 4.3" screen or a 3.7" screen. the 4.3" screen would be super nice for web browsing but the 3.7" would def fit better in the pocket what ever it has i will be happy as long as it has sence and a decent processer so it doesnt lag as bad.

 

The screen on the Passion is 3.8" like the HTC Touch HD.

 

no offense...but says who?

 

+1 any source for that?

 

Yeah, not the sexiest look, especially if your young and single.... But as a 40 yr old, happily married surgeon, that has to carry a pager 24hrs a day, 365 days/year, I don't really care about having another thing on my belt, even if I'm in jeans or shorts....

 

Not to mention, I don't care what people think about how I carry my cellular device. Life is too short. If they don't like it, too bad. What I do, makes ME happy.
There IS more than one way to wear a phone holster belt clip with jeans.

I'm only concerned about transporting my device safely & efficiently.

 

Simple geometric analysis of the leaked picture. Yeah, I don't know the width, but it's not like cell phones vary 2-4" in width. If that screen is 4.3" like the HD2, that phone will be even wider than the HD2 which really goes beyond practical width and makes the phone too big. It's not a 4.3" display.

 

*ahem*

 

Uh, belt clips are lame no matter what pants you're wearing. Nothing says nerd or "I work in I.T." like a phone on a belt clip. And if that's offensive to anyone in I.T., trust me, it's lame. Take the phone off the clip and slowly put the belt clip in a desk drawer and leave it.

 

Hey doc, pager on the belt is fine because you're a doc. But if you Best Buy all around your waist, you're starting to look like Bat-nerd and his utility belt. I have plenty of doc friends who wear their pager, but keep their iPhone in a nice leather sleeve, which is either hand-held or goes in the pocket.

 

First, let me say that the reason for the delay with OS2.0 and Sense is because they're not happy together. But with the leaked pics of Sense on OS2.1, looks like it's a go.

Second, this phone will likely have Sense with the Snapdragon IF AND ONLY IF this is an HTC phone "with Google." Read my other posts about how powerful the Snap/Imageon processor is. It's decent, but won't be blowing out the doors of any OMAP3/SGX units.

Third, related to #2, if this HTC phone is INDEED the gPhone (i.e. Google Phone, touting the full "Google experience") then it will likely NOT be running Sense UI and likely not even be running Eclair (some say Flan, or something beyond). It will be THE quintessential Google phone with no overlays or HTC widget skin.

 

Wrong. In a work environment, belt clips are fine. If you're grabbing your blackberry 5 dozen times a day to check on schedules or emails, nothing says TOOL like some dip fumbling to dig deep in his pocket every 5 minutes or having to stiffen like a board to pull it out of his pocket at a conference room table. You might as well be playing with yourself. I agree with this when you're not at work. Jeans, khackis, shorts...keep it in your pocket.

 

Hey kyler, do what pleases you. I'm just telling you what the reality is. A phone on a belt clip NEVER looks good. It always looks lame. But who cares? People continue to do it. Just know that unless you're talking to other belt-toting phone jockeys, that's what people are thinking. No one wants to look like Batman with a utility belt. Put the phone in the pocket. When you get to the conference table, take it out of the pocket and put it on the conference table. As a matter of fact, unless you're in a profession that requires your immediate attention for emergencies, keep the phone in the pocket. Nothing says douche more than a phone on the belt than the Blackberry glance. We all know what the BB glance looks like.

 

sooper, is that a phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us?

 

Uh... both?!? What? I love you guys!

 

The first time I saw a guy at work, I had two immediate thoughts, "He's hot." quickly followed by, "He's I.T." But it wasn't his phone on his belt that tipped me off. Just a general appearance that IT guys have; they can't help it, so they might as well keep their phone easily accessible. Doesn't bother me none. I like nerds.
