Anyone?

I don't see the point really, though maybe it's more comfortable to hold, or has the ability to hold a larger capacity battery, or something?

I thought Samsung and LG were promising actual flexible phones, or at least they didn't really specify (it makes sense that some components can't flex, obviously).
 
What a sad resolution for it! Here's to hoping it brings something else innovative to it aside from curved corners!
 
They didn't promise flexible displays, just curved displays. Point is ergonomics, structural integrity and face fit.
 
Oh! I'm a dummy sometimes. Takes me awhile to get it. We'll see how popular these are and how the ergonomics actually improve things.
 
6 inch screen at 1280x720, that is horrendous for a phone in late 2013

I think it will be marginal, but much better then the solid flat phone we have today. The big thing will be durability.
 
I don't think this design will work. Remember back when the matrix phone was around that had a similar curve? They didn't work in pockets so they needed a slide out mechanism so it could collapse. Same with flip phones. So this thing is just going to be damage prone sitting in a pocket bulging out. The only way you can fix that is if you have a large enough pocket to lay it down horizontally so it wraps the curve of your leg.

Once you get it out of your pocket it is probably ok, would allow you to place it face down without risk of damaging the screen. However once again if someone sets something on it, crack.
 
Looks like they are forcing this cool tech into this gimmick form... A fixed-curve-shaped phone... MEH!
 
it will feel way better holding it in your hand then a flat phone does. Im not interested in this at all tho.
 
the race for innovation makes certain brands lose their focus.. this curve angle is absolutely useless ! unless we can fold the phone to make it tiny, i see no reason to have it
 
That is one nice ass looking phone. I always loved the curve of the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus
