There's several things to disagree with here. I see a trend where people want smaller phones. The current phone are getting too big and people are getting fed

  What's a trend? It'd be awesome if the market shifted this way but I think it's going to take a few product cycles to really happen. Have you seen any market research that's pointing to it happening sooner? To my eye, it looks like the manufacturer answer is to have large phones plus an additional "smart watch". Personally, I would love a revamped "Droid 1". I'm really craving the rugged metal chassis, h/w slide keyboard, and small size. Unfortunately, each of those is exactly what drives up cost. Premium materials, moving parts, and miniaturization/layout are where the money goes.

  Realy? I think the opposite is the case... Smartphones are getting bigger and tablets are getting obsolete. I have a 6.1" Smartphone and stopped using my tablet with this. Before that I had a tiny phone and a tablet.

    your choice of the biggest smart phone is a personal choice, makes a tablet unnecessary for you, not OBSOLETE. You're going to find devices spread out more rather than consolidate. despite what people think, things get more complex, not less and the market for products grows a longer tail rather than things disappearing.

  "Man Bag" sales are going up. People are changing their lifestyle to incorporate bigger phones. Phones won't be getting smaller.
