One reply on “Upcoming Motorola phones are “phenomenal”: Eric Schmidt”
I hear they are not unwieldy a.k.a big screen sized either … so am hoping they fall within the 4.5″ bezel-bezel max range which is actually the correct ergonomic size for any one-handed operation by a human hand-palm. 4.3″ is the sweet spot!
