Agreed.
They should've put two stereo loudspeakers on the front-face of the device but on the edges. It's quite innovative, like how the Sprint Arrive (aka HTC 7 PRO).
Plus they should've knock off the navigational buttons, and eliminate as much bezel as possible... so they could've made it a 5" screen on a 5.3" phone.
In contrast, an iPhone 4S has a 3.5" screen but its a 5.06" phone.


Anyone know if it has NFC?
Some say yes. Others say no. Quite often I see "NFC Optional" does it mean its in devices for select areas?
For instance, Samsung sold the international i9000 Galaxy S in South America but also included a TV-module inside.
