Either you wear your jeans ridiculously tight or you've never tried to put one of the Galaxy Notes in your pocket.

No one believes (including me before I got my phone) that my Note 2 is less obtrusive in my pocket than my Moto Droid 3 was.

  I was ready to buy a nexus 5 which is much smaller until I tried my friend's one - it feels like I tried to stuff a shoe in there by comparison. Having bought on spec, they agree that it is disappointingly huge and wish they went for an iphone.

    I can fit a nexus 7 in a few pairs of my work pants. Stop wearing skinny jeans.

      > Stop wearing skinny jeans. They are standard in Europe and much of the US at least. My apparently heretical pov is that the tech should be user centred, not vice versa

ymmv but hardly going to start wearing fugly cargo pants for a phone - it's meant to be a convenience, not an inconvenience

  At some point, the pants are what's inconvenient. The current iPhone screen is too small. I'm glad to see Apple is starting to figure that out.

    the old iPhone screens are too small. current isn't bad at all. perhaps a bit smaller than ideal, but not really "too small" (at least it isn't too small for tens of millions of people)

  So you haven't tried it. Good deal. I wear regular fit pants and have absolutely no problem putting the phone in my pocket with plenty of room to wear.

One of the reasons I didn't want any smart phone was the size (I had a small flip phone from Virgin Mobile); but now I'm used to my iPhone in a Book Book. On the other hand, my wife often has no pockets, and never puts her phone in one. Instead it goes in a purse. For her, and I expect many women, the only thing that matters if it is comfortable to hold and use not how it gets stored between use.

Or the poster is female. People seem to forget that women's bottoms tend to have really tiny pockets (at least in the USA).
