Samsung Galaxy Q
 
Just when I was getting interested in the new Samsung Galaxy S II, I hear about the release in September of a 5.3 inch tablet. I always thought a 7 inch tablet was just too big to carry in my pocket.

Nice phone. If no other nervous tablet arrives before that I will buy it. Too bad n9 dont have that screensize.

And apparently uses a flexible oled screen, this might be the first time we see flexible oled screen in a consumer device.

give me a good reason not to use a flexible screen on a device like this. It enables a thinner and lighter design and keeps the hing from blocking your view of the screen.

Hmm, thats why its a tablet :) if it can fit in the pocket it will be a phone then :-).

Well, having said that, I dont mind to have an android but I found the screen of 10.1" is too large for holding using 1 hand. 7 - 8.9" would be nice.

One more thing: Why bother to buy now where in 2 months time kal-el processor will came out and I am sure the speed will be nice (except for the battery).

There are those of us who want a large-ish pocketable non-phone wifi-only tablet. (Well, speaking for myself, I'd take a cell data connection, but only if it worked like a prepaid phone -- i.e., you paid by the usage amount, not by some fixed monthly fee.) (My Tracfone lets me get online and pay that way.)

Not all that glitters is gold, and not all pocketables are phones. E.g., the iPod touch.

you have to open and close it. takes time.
you will be the first flexible screen with all the issues that can appear.
you will have a smaller but fat device.
you dont use the whole area of the conver.
more parts easier broken.
+ 599 more ;)

For many years there have been 4 inch tablets. What do you suppose "NIT" means. It means Nokia Internet Tablet. That is what my N800 is. It fits in my pocket and it is not a phone. If I want I can wear "cargo" pants that have pockets big enough to carry a 5 inch tablet (or phone). I have a 7 inch tablet which cannot fit in a pocket unless I wear my clown suit.
