Remember when Apple said people didn't want huge 4in+ phones?

Yep - I use my phone one handed quite often, and its annoying when I have to shift how I'm holding the phone to reach the whole thing.

i had a hell of a time typing one-handed on my old omnia, the thing was so small id get thumb cramps from clasping my hand around it. the droidX has a good enough size for my hands to allow me to type fairly well in portrait with one hand. i think the smallest i could go would be a 4" screen now, my thumb wouldnt survive another phone smaller.

Except that I only posts facts and news. If other people take what I post down the Troll Lane, I am not responsible for what other people post in the threads I create.

Except you could have written '25% of purchased smartphones now have 4"+ screens' as the headline. Troll lane, indeed.

Yea, bigger screens help with virtual keyboards...but I'm not a big fan of any virtual keyboard myself, hence the Venue Pro (and the Epic before that, and the Droid before that, and the G1 before that, and the Curve before that....)

Looks like some did. And the smaller screens devices have a shrinking market share, while the largest screen market grows. Go figure.

No. Steve Jobs is always right.

No. Steve Jobs is always right.

Steve thought he was wrong once, but he was mistaken.

Yes, and we have always been at war with Eurasia.

Why stop there? If 5" is good, a 9.7" screen would be even better. They should make an iPhone with a 9.7" screen. Oh wait—

Wait, don't be silly: They made a 9.7" iPod Touch, not a 9.7" iPhone.

Obviously it's because Jobs wears skinny jeans.
