- tadfisher 14y agoSome (like me) consider that an upside.
- lucian1900 14y agoThe problem is that there is no alternative. All high-end phones are gigantic. Same for all Nexus phones.
- tadfisher 14y agoThe Droid RAZR i/M disagrees with you.
- lucian1900 14y agoLocked bootloader, so it's not an option. Also, only Nexus series phones are really worth it these days.
- tadfisher 14y agoThe "Developer Edition" is unlocked, and I agree on the second point. Unfortunately, you're at the whim of Google and the consumer market, which apparently demands large phones.
- rhizome 14y agoYeah, I'm in the market for a new Android phone right now and phones seem to be going through a late-50s auto industry "new larger size!" phase.
- CrazedGeek 14y agoAnd the pitiful internal storage coupled with the lack of expandable storage. It's still much more convenient for me to sync music to a card than to wrangle with the various cloud services.
- lucian1900 14y agoIt's not something I particularly care about. I'm not even using all of the 8GB on my current phone.
