The current Nexus S has curved glass as well. It provides two benefits:
1) When swiping vertically, it makes it easier your finger moves around your joint... so it feels more natural.
2) When placing the screen face down, it keeps the center of the screen from touching the surface and reduces scratching around the more important area of the display.

 

now THAT is a phone I'm looking forward to... however it's not HTC... =(
I REALLY love the HTC Sense keyboard... I tried Cyanogenmod... it was good and smooth and nice and a lot of the features were great... but it missed one HUGE IMPORTANT thing... the HTC Keyboard... I just can't live without it now... so I reverted back to the Sensation's Sense ROM...

oh and the weather app's nice too =b... as well as the Sense look in general...

 

Great hardware specs, but I think the curve would feel weird in my pocket and would allow things such as keys to get in between the phone and my leg scratching it.

never keep these newer phones in your pocket. Even if it has gorilla glass, It can scratch the whole phone up. My nexus s feels very natural in my pocket even in tight jeans.

 

I think this is the one I am going to pickup if it ends up on Verizon..4g at last.

 

Nice cant wait to see it.

The curvature will allow it to better fit in your jeans since your thigh/hip is curved...

 

I have played around with my brother in law's Nexus S and I really like the feel of the curved glass. I just dislike the plastic body. I wish more phones were aluminum body's like the original Droid. I guess it's a piece of mind sort of thing that the aluminum body gives me that I like.

Either way I am excited to see what it will be.

Hopefully it's not the Nexus S, S. Now with a fancy camera so you can feel super suave standing next to real photographers and their puny DSLR's...

 

stop talking about curves and hips, this ain't no rap video forum

I like big hips and I cannot lie.....

 

the curved screen on the nexus s is awesome. (I'm on mine right now.) it also curves around your face a little when talking on the phone. (you know, that's what phones are for xD)

on looking forwards to this but I've only had my phone for a year on a 3 year contract. It can still do what I need it too. although I want the prime real bad, ill hold out (unless I find a cheap one)

 

Samsung? Ugh... go back to HTC with the Nexus line, please.

Funny when I had a Nexus S;

A; My screen scratched.

B; The curve is so slight you can't feeling the difference by swiping up only along the edges.

Samsung screens > HTC screens

 

Why do people seem down on Samsung? I thought the GSII was one of the most successful phones, I figured Samsung would have a decent reputation?

 

can't wait for this phone to hit att. i'm definitely hoping it's at least on par with the sgsII. rather 4.3 over 4.6 size though

1280x720 on a screen smaller than 8 inches

Do want!!!!!! (I said smaller than 8 inches because I can't be bothered to google or look in the source how big the screen is going to be)

Wonder who thought to do that? Brilliant!!

True i had the Samsung Vibrant it was a great phone and stood up to a lot of punishment. it felt light and plasticey but the truth of it is it had the durability of a peace of steal i dropped mine so many times and never had a case on it never chipped and screen never cracked

A) Reduction of scratching does not mean won't scratch. The curvature does reduces scratches to the center screen due to particulates on a flat surface.
B) It is subtle but there is difference. Grab a flat phone and play with both for awhile.
