This looks awesome :cool:

Only thing that disappoints me is it being a single core, 1.5Ghz, not sure it it's more powerful than the 1Ghz dual cores though.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Looks good just too big though.  As has already been said its bordering on the size of a tablet.

Sort of. It does it HTC's way with their HTC Sense interface which imo is the best experience for an Android newcomer. It's a nice design, has good audio, large screen but not too large to become unusable as a phone (4.7" is pushing it!). It reminds me a lot of current, 18 month old phone with it's Aluminium unibody.

With Touch screens, it's all about the user experience and HTC does that well with Android, Samsungs is too standard android looking, Sony's is too confusing (at least on their older phones).
