Big bright screen

If you lived outside the US, you would be able to find some handsets hitting those marks in the next 3 to 6 months....but as usual, the US will be a bit behind. The market for handsets with those specs just isnt that big and adding in the UMTS850/1900MHz bands requires additional space and expense. Perhaps we'll see something from Samsung/Nokia by the end of this year, but if so, they havent revealed their plans yet.
