Yeah, I still think fondly of the days when I did not have a smartphone but instead had an ipod touch, because it was the PERFECT size. I eventually got a smartphone instead for a reason (I never remembered to keep my flip phone charged and OCCASIONALLY one does need to use a phone as a phone, and also having data capability is super nice), but I miss that ipod.
I think maybe part of the reason for the trend towards enormous phones is that for more and more people, their main computing device is their phone, and trying to do stuff on a really really tiny screen can be more challenging, so phones are more like mini-tablets these days than like. Phone-sized. Which is fine to have some products aiming at that market, but can't those of us who like small phones have SOMETHING to choose between????
