I am inclined to think 7 inch will be a let down. Not much different from other big phones. A 10 inch is the least. The 7 inch tablet really has to die IMO. I am looking for a tablet and will get one but never a 7inch. My phone is already almost 4 inches. I don't need a mildly bigger phone. I need a nice big screen which is a joy to watch videos or use flipboard on.

"The 7 inch tablet really has to die IMO." Because you don't want it, it needs to die? So you "need a nice big screen", good for you; I don't. The seven inch tablet is great for me. I'm in the over forty crowd and my iPhone is hard to use accurately with my fingers, to the point of frustration. I need something to use as my pocket computer that's easier than my smart phone, allows me to configure it to my convenience, allows me to insert portable storage, uses standard ports, such as USB, and to change the battery when it wears.

  My point was that the phones are moving closer to the 7 inch mark. There is now just about 2 inch difference b/w a high end phone and a tablet. So if you need a 7 inch tablet, in most cases a 5 inch galaxy note will suffice. Except maybe a USB port, but there are micro usb to USB converters out there that are tiny. The 7 inch model does not make sense because there isn't much to differentiate b/w a 5' phone and a 7' tablet. What can be seen on 7' tablet can most certainly be seen on phone, best example being desktop websites. They will look very similar on a 5' and a 7' screen. 10' will make a difference though, both because of screen size and higher resolution.

It has a 138% larger screen area than the Galaxy Nexus (4.65") and 222% larger area than the Nexus S (4"). I don't believe calling it mildly bigger is accurate. http://www.displaywars.com/4,65-inch-16x9-vs-7-inch-16x10 http://www.displaywars.com/4,65-inch-16x9-vs-7-inch-16x10 http://www.displaywars.com/4-inch-16x9-vs-7-inch-16x10 http://www.displaywars.com/4-inch-16x9-vs-7-inch-16x10

It will allow you to get a smaller phone, after all. 10 inch is a bit too big to carry around all the time.
