Does having a fancy smart phone with a 3-5" screen make you feel important?

Otherwise why do you pay for data to look at a screen that small?

I don't my wife does so I get it too. She needs it for her job to communicate with her employees.
Does she have the same phone? I hope she doesn't have to text all day on a number pad! Roll

Your phone is a lot bigger
No... a "lot" bigger would be if it were like twice the size. It's not even close.


And considering the thousands of things it can do that your phone can't... yeah, I'm good with it. Cool2

it is actually thinner.

If you had a folder...would it be better to carry 1 sheet of paper or a stack of post it notes? The very thin piece of paper would make things much more simplistic and since H / W were not important since we had to carry the whole folder anyway...

"Huge" paper wins.
Yeah they are thin but are huge almost mini tablet size. Just buy a tablet.

So do you want us to have early 90s sized phones or not? I'm confused. Confused

No... that you think a difference in phone dimensions that insignificant is "huge" is laughable.

They are huge by comparison to pre-smart phone era.

Really? You've done it twice now. And considering you have such a "big" fancy screen and a full size keyboard, you'd think you'd be able to use a little punctuation in some of these run-on sentences. laugh out loud


Quote from boltman2007 :
Your phone is a lot bigger seriously you wouldn't buy a phone that big without data access the new phones are too big and all look the same all fingerprinty or with peeling protector film.

No, they're not. They're not even "huge" compared to the non-smart phone you have TODAY.
