Cue. I'm in the US. I can't walk into any store - they closed the NY Nokia store - and just purchase an N900 even if I wanted to and have it in my hands that very same day.

Different markets, different folks. I'll choose the path where I'm just stating what I can verify, and remain as egocentric in regards to what is "preview", "review" and actual.

I can get an iPhone 4 today. Walked into the local Best Buy and they had a few left. I can't do the same in the T-Mobile stores for the N900. It's all relative to what each of our experiences are... and in this case, it's markedly different.

Now... with that said, I'm still under the impression that an antenna, made of metal with a larger surface area than an embedded one, that's smaller is optimal.

Samsung Galaxy S isn't out globally. If so, please tell me where it's been released. Also, please show me where a true comparison, ppi has been made. If it's out, that should have happened already. If it hasn't, I'm willing to locate one if I can source it, do the comparison myself.

Saying it's the best one out isn't hyperbole, this time. I can compare it to phones - and please notice a pattern here - that I can get my hands on right now, at this very moment. Announcements of forthcoming phones is honestly a waste of my time at this very moment, but I will revisit it when I can make that comparison faithfully with my hands on it.

I'm not much for previews. The hype around the iPhone, or any gadget, would have been misleading in so many different ways. From the fake as hell "better than retina can discern" display - sorry, that's marketing BS from Apple, retinas can go above 440+ppi or so, matters on the distance, scientist and opinion, and the iPhone 4 display isn't there yet - and Samsung has somehow not reported their ppi yet... which is odd. It'll all boil down to which you like, dislike, believe, and get your hands on.

I'm aiming for getting my hands on it. Not a preview. Not even a review. I do a better job of convincing myself than marketing BS. Nokia included.

I can't (and won't) defend Engadget's take on the iPhone 4; even if they paid me. It's just all relative to what they were comparing, and in my case, I'd rather be practical. Can I touch it, can I see it, can I use it right now? Then I'll compare it.

It's in preview, there are no specific numbers, it might or might not come out soon... I truly won't care about it until it comes true.

Thanks for the information on the antennas though. I can honestly say that I just learned from you. Thank you.
