Don't Super-Size My Smartphone!

Posted by Soulskill on from the a-pox-on-anyone-uttering-the-word-phablet dept.

New submitter Steve Max writes "Editor Paul Ockenden wonders, 'Has anyone else noticed what's been happening to top-end smartphones recently? They've started to get big – really big. But do people really want that at the expense of carrying around such a huge, heavy lump of tech in their pocket?' The trend for bigger and bigger screens is clear, but is it what consumers want? Is it what you want?"

    I like big phones

    ...and I can not lie,
    You other brothers can't deny,
    When Tim Cook walks in with a white plastic case,
    And puts a round corner in your face --
    You get sprung!

    I honestly do not know anyone who uses a Bluetooth headset regularly. I only make a handful of calls a day, lasting 3-4 minutes at most, so a Bluetooth headset would just be more trouble than it's worth.

    But how will other people know you're a successful, important douchebag?!!
