@trekrema Almost certainly. Palm Pres are very comfortable to have in even small pockets (so much so that I didn't even notice mine was in my pocket when I jumped in the pool last week.)
Meanwhile, those of us who are already accustomed to GPS technology know not to expect it to get a lock on us indoors in most cases. I got a Vibrant today and wow really enjoy this phone a lot (coming from a Palm Pre previously that got swimming pooled).
@DizWhiz Yes, it would be quite strange for phone prices to go up in accordance with gaining more features (faster/more memory than the rest of the market, better screen, keyboard, whatever). Clearly Samsung should be aiming for the tween-ready price point with this particular smartphone entry.
@Vidikron Are you sure? Their coverage map as of a couple weeks ago showed nothing around me, then suddenly my area showed up on their map last week. I ordered Clear's 4G service and since last night I'm getting 250KByte/sec down and 100KByte/sec up without even having strong signal! (Sprint's 4G map still shows nothing in my area btw.)

Samsung Epic 4G preview
Jun 29th 2010 6:40PM (Engadget)Same here. I like my Palm Pre but as soon as 4G gets deployed close enough to my home, I want something to take advantage of it!
