I think it would be a little too big for me. Glad you like it though. Need to change your name now. :P

Maybe If it had a glass and metal form factor, had a 3.5 inch screen with a retina display and 8MP camera...

So you suggest reverse the galaxy note to an iphone 4?

the note looks pretty good, I just can't see carrying around something that big, much less hold it up to my face. I'd feel so stupid with it lmao. I'd much rather have a 7 or 10 inch tablet than something than a hybrid device. 5 inches isn't a good size for me. 4 inches is the largest I'd go for a smartphone, and 7 is the lowest I'd go for a tablet.

I don't get why everyone thinks it would be so awkward to hold it up to your face. It's not THAT big.

Unless you wear skin tight pants, the biggest issue is trying to use it one handed. You basically can't. I can barely use my Galaxy Nexus one-handed. If you don't mind having to use two hands all the time to play with your phone, this phone might be for you.

I remember when I first got my iPhone 3G and my friend's wife said, "I can't believe you bought one, they're to big, must be like holding a brick up to your ear".

Then the iPhone 4 came out and it was smaller, yet it had a screen 4 times as good.

I could go back to a phone that's a bit larger but I'd rather not hold a a tablet/phone up to my head.

As for pockets, I do a physically demanding job. Imagine going to the gym with a galaxy note, you'd look like a moron and you'd be uncomfortable.

However, it does fill a small niche. It would be a great size for my brother (he almost never talks on a phone).

I remember when the HD2 came out and everyone thought it was so huge. Now 4.3" is normal. People only think a phone with a 5.3" screen is awkward now because it's relatively new. I know it'll always be too big for many people, but after a while it'll just seem normal. If you see someone with a Galaxy Note now, you'll think it's a crazy idea and make your little jokes, but after a while you'll see one and think nothing of it. Just like your friend thought your iPhone was huge and now iPhones are considered small.

I don't see how using a big smartphone at the gym would make you look like a moron though.

Except that, as the average phone size increased, iPhones really have gotten smaller.

Where would you put it if you use it to listen to music?

Barely though. They've only gotten a little bit thinner (width) which is hardly noticeable.

You could put it in your pocket. That's where I put my phone when I listen to music while running. Or you could buy an armband for it.

It's no iPod nano, but it'll help you build muscle at the same time. ;)
