The trend toward "giant sized phones" amuses me to no end. Anything over 4.5" seems silly to me. I have a 4.3" phone (and I just ordered an iPhone 5) and that is plenty of screen for me. I own a tablet for when I want to look at something on a larger screen. I don't want to have to carry around something that more closely resembles a serving platter than a phone all day and wear cargo pants/shorts 365 days a year just to have a place to store the damned thing. It's silly and I expect those phones to drop out of the market in relatively short order as the market settles on screens in the 4-4.6" range.

On the other hand, watching someone talk on a Galaxy Note is fucking hilarious.

I'm in Hong Kong, and it's even worse here. The Note is exceedingly popular, and it seems many other phone companies have provided alternatives which are roughly the same size, if not larger... when you consider that Asians typically have smaller hands/heads, it's almost laughable watching them.

I've long thought that these companies need to stop advertising that their new phablets come with stylii and start advertising that they come with a built-in umbrella function for rainy days.
