You had me at 4'' Super AMOLED Contour display.

I'm so getting this phone.

2.3 sounds good (although too much gaming **** tweaks), but phone is just a plain Galaxy S which I've been using for past 4 month now. With release of Galaxy S2 (maybe 1st quarter of 2011) NS will be history.....

Any word on pricing yet?

The galaxy S has had that for months if I'm correct....
