Good. Another possible choice on VZW for me. Hopefully this one is big enough to become more popular than its predecessors.

I'm one of the people who thinks that the 3.1-inch display on the Pre 2 just isn't going to cut it. That's why I'm interested in the Pre 3.

I'd like for VZW (or any carrier) to get some out there so people can start comparing notes about WebOS vs. Android. This size adjustment should remove most people's objections.

I think everyone thinks 3.1 on the Pre 2 doesn't cut it.

I think everyone thinks 3.1 on the Pre 2 doesn't cut it.

I had wondered if the trend towards larger and larger screens (which I love) might open up an opportunity for the Pre/Pixi's smaller footprint. I guess we'll see what happens with the Veer. Maybe 3.1" is in that reverse goldilocks zone, and is too little for everyone who likes big and too big for everyone who likes little.

I wonder if the person(s) responsible for the midget Pre and Pixi might have provided the input that resulted in the Veer? Really, is any other manufacturer deliberately building smaller smartphones? I was experimenting with the mifi today with my feature phone. I visited my web mail site and BH and I can tell you, the viewing experience on a 2.5" screen is underwhelming at best.
