Interesting. Love my Iphone but struggle with some of the small print on websites.
Will be a tradeoff between better visibility vs. will it fit in my pocket, LOL.

Is the word Phablet gay enough?

It’s Phablus!

I do hope that ‘phablet’ does not become an official or unofficial term for a large-screen phone. We have quite enough awkward portmanteaus as it is.

Here's the problem for Microsoft - they will never be able to bend this curve, and Nokia will be another disaster:

buying Nokia was the dumbest thing possible.

Where else can they throw away billions?

They can buy me! They’ll get nothing useful I can guarantee.

I have the 4s, will have it 3 years in December. Time for a new one soon. Waiting for the 6 but it has to fit in my pocket with an otterbox defender or equivalent. . No phreaking phablet. No holsters.

Heard it might have a name and not a number?

No, not gay until it’s referred to as “adorable.

I so want one of the phablets!

My boss has a Galaxy Tab and I love its large screen.

I wonder what US Cellular will charge me to upgrade from my old o=Phone 5S?
