I'm glad your cousin is smart enough as to know how utterly silly (and I'm being nice here) it would be to tie into a 2 year contract on a phone with a 3 1/2 inch display and 3G service in late 2011. At least you don't get 2 years of horrible battery life. That would be a bummer...

" I'm not going to comment on the screen size, but what do you mean by 4G here? I'd estimate that 95% of the smartphones sold in the next 8 months will NOT have 4G LTE, including approximately 100% of the Windows Phones in the market. venturebeat.com As for LTE, Lees said Microsoft and its hardware partners are waiting for LTE solutions that are less power-hungry. He declined to say whether we’ll see the first LTE phones this year or next. Don't hold your breath for this year.
