"Different enough from the Galaxy Victory to call it a new phone! Roll it out!"

4 inch screen.. probably not a bad option. But, does this mean the iPhone 5 with its "big" screen should really be called the iPhone Mini?

marketing ploy to make Apple look bad?

Bummed that its not going to be a very high end device. I know there are power users out there who like a smaller form factor and it would be great to have it as an option. Are there other Android or WM phones that fit the bill?

Nexus S still has no competition in its weight class as far as I can tell. Hard to call it high end these days though with single core, WVGA and no LTE.

Just saw that this mini galaxy phone won't have LTE, either. Sounds more similar to the Nexus just mentioned. Are there really no Android or WP8 LTE phones in a smaller form factor (say screen size of less than 4.5"). Maybe I'm alone in liking a smaller phone!

If the S3 Alpha would pop up on Sprint like it did in Japan I would go for that over the Note 2, my choice for my next phone.

The mini sounds like a step backward.
