16:9 resolution excellent as this is aspect ratio for TV show on netflix, but an unusual resolution no?
4" screen was hoping bigger but still a great improvement
5ghz good news as 2.4ghz is massively over subscribed in my area
smaller speaker that sounds better? really, we shall see (i mean hear)
8mp camera was hoping for better, some interesting new features though
new connector bad news for some docks as using adapter will make look bad, and why not change to microUSB if your going to change.
battery life good news
cpu/gpu very little detail given, but given the phones contract lengths you want it to have power for software that will be around in 2 years time
new chassis dimension hard to judge this until you get it in your hand
I think not a revolutionary update but many good improvements all round.
From my own point of view I was hoping for a larger screen and would rather they kept the phone 20% fatter and added greater battery with the size. Prices are good.
