Default How bloody stupid

Samsung must be idiots as the Galaxy s3 is already huge and the Note is a joke of a size but this is just taking the **** for a phone.

Its geting stupid. The first large Galaxy and the ip5 was getting a bit of a joke in terms of size. But this trumps the lot.

I have my nokia 8310 on my desk and still marvel how tiny it is.

People are always commenting about how amazing my Galaxy Note 2 is, I couldn't go back to a smaller phone, not with multi window anyway.

The 5" screen on the Xperia Z is as far as I am prepared to go, had it a month or so and it still feels a bit to big, that said when I pick up the Desire I laugh at how small it now feels, like having Ali's Nokia 8310 in your hand.

Strip out the multi core processor, put the simple mode larger icons (and reduce number of), and sell it to older people who need glasses to see a phone - it will sell by the bucket load.

I now how many old people 70+ like the size of the galaxy S3 when its got the bigger icons on.

It's getting silly now. It's a phone not a tablet.

In the early 2000's phones were getting smaller, now they are getting bigger than ever.

Yes but they run out things to put in the phones, hence the reduction in size. Now I can watch Netflix, play awesome games and have video chats, hence the demand for larger screens. I know some are just too big to be called phones, but I can see why the demand exists.
