We should be getting something nice with 2.3 gingerbread on the phones however, so no worries. I bet when I get a new phone in 2012, the hardware and software will make my phone look like an oversized cell phone from the 80s. I like 4.3" screens myself, but agree the size is not for everyone. I can't imagine going to a display smaller then 4" now for a smartphone. Funny how AT&T is going to now have the high-end android phone and Verizon will have the high-end iPhone now. Verizon's ego seemed to inflate three sizes this week as it decided it no longer need NE2 and a thirty day return window (or maybe Apple had a say in that).
I've been waiting on something portable and nice to use OTG and as a HTPC at home, but Android OS is still held back by format support and fragmentation so much, I'll probably get a AMD fusion cpu based netbook instead of one of something like the XOOM still. Tablet is sweet, but have little use for both an Android smartphone AND tablet.
