True - exactly why my wife chose one earlier this year. Her main criteria was "it has to fit in my back pocket" - which meant 4.5" screen. There's so few of those devices in the modern smartphone market - and yet I wonde

We've been going through the same exercise for the last 6 months. As a dev company that services a bunch of small to medium size clients we found we couldn't get insurance for data loss - and increasingly our clients require a cla
