Maybe apple knows they will be renewing the AT&T exclusivity.

the iphones screen size, the way that it is rigth now, is perfect, if they make it bigger, i dont think it will even fit in my pocket, if they make it smaller, it would be an even more cramped up keyboard and smaller UI for games, they need to leave it the way it is, and thats it...

The screen can get bigger with the device remaining the same. The sides of the screen mainly the little thin space between the screen and the chrome bezel, thats real estate. The little space above the Home Button, thats real estate. The rather larger space between the screen and the output call speaker is real estate. Now... If Apple we're to remove the chrome bezel and shape the iPhone like the iTouch you'd gain alot of space for a bigger screen.

The screen could get bigger and remain in the same sized shell, I really wouldnt mind having an iPhone with iPod Touch size dimensions.

Apple is all about going forward... but this speculation of a smaller screen is kinda wtf? to me. Here come the rumors of "Nano iPhone" etc. TBH... with the way Verizon is attacking AT&T and the iPhone itself, i dont see Apple wanting anything to do with Verizon anytime in the near future. Steve Jobs is known for being petty.

To further the being petty statement... how amusing would it be if Jobs gave Verizon a "hosed" version of the iPhone. LOL.

Given bandwidth constraints, would a smaller screen equate to smaller resolution video, and less data transfer over the air?

Rumors run rampant and its hard to believe any of this about Apple and Verizon. Verizon's UI and Apple don't and won't work together. I believe if Apple deals with Verizon the only way they will get an iPhone will be a, and I love how you put it Londonrockz568, "HOSED" verson. Hell, that's all they deserve.

I don't mind the iPhone to be smaller - I don't need the areas around the screen (top and bottom..)

Not really. The GPU will still do all the scaling either up or down, to fit full screen. When you download a movie, there aren't versions for specific screen resolutions, your computer's GPU scales it accordingly.

well, the area on the bottom of the phone, is where you have the home button, and the top part of the phone is where the auto brigthness sensor is, where the receiver for phone calls is, and where the proximity sensor is, so pretty much, you need them there wether you want it or not...

The "Home button" could go on the side, the sensor...that's more difficult...
