You are overly exaggerating the field of view issue. I've tried the hololens twice already (the untethered version they will be shipping). Field of view is definitely smaller that I'd like, but it's MUCH bigger than a 6 inch phablet at arms length. It's closer to the size a 24 inch monitor sitting on your desk at arm length. Almost all tech journalist that tried it were blown away by the experience. Most of them mentioned the field of view issue, but I haven't read anyone saying that it was such an issue that it made the technology any less impressive.
