    [Rumor] Motorola Will Announce an Edge-to-Edge Display Phone on September 5th


    We've been sharing with you guys for weeks now that Motorola and Verizon are going to have a press event on September 5th with a big announcement of some kind. Most of the industry intel and speculation suggets that the Motorola Droid RAZR HD will be the announced device. Today we have a new rumor from Bloomberg, and this one adds some intriguing fuel to the fire. Supposedly, Moto is all set to announce an "edge-to-edge" display device. Here's a quote with some additional detail,

    The phone would be the most high-profile product debut for Motorola Mobility since the company was purchased by Google for about $12.5 billion. The model also would be one of the first full-screen phones in the U.S., meaning it uses the entire front of the device as a display. The approach maximizes the screen viewing space by eliminating the black frames or bezels around the display.
    Many manufacturers from Sony to Samsung have teased that they would bring true edge-to-edge display tech to phones, and Samsung's newest SGS3 comes darn close. Could Motorola really beat everyone to the punch with the real thing?

    I don't want a bezelless device.

    I already can barely pass my phone to someone else to show them something without them accidentally changing the display by accidentally touching it.

    Frankly, I don't see the point of edge-to-edge display on a device meant to be held in the hand.

    I want to know more about this device.
    Between this and the Razr HD, and the new LG?
    Very curious.

    Motorola is off the hook and they are loving it. Vzw has shown their backsides on this one. Vzw is the culprit.

    I want to see how this would look. It may be possible to create active and non active touch points on the device, while still maintaining a bezeless architecture.

    I'm sure they have taken into account this potential problem. Will be interesting to see how they handle that if in fact the rumor is correct
