> I think people regard phones in different ways, with the phone power users wanting a mini tablet, and other people wanting something much smaller. There is a significant contingent of people who practically live on their phone, so I can understand wanting a huge screen. My mother wants a big phone, "biggest that still fits in my purse" as she puts it. She isn't a power user, and she doesn't use the phone all that much, it's her iPad that she lives on. I think the reason big phones won out over small ones isn't because of some sneaky marketing push, it's because the largest part of the market wants big phones instead of tiny screens that fit in one hand. It's similar to the car enthusiasts who insist a manual brown diesel wagon would sell well, but of course that's just the loudest 10 people on the Internet.
