Its a big phone/small tablet and it is fucking awesome! It has the ability to do amazing unique things and is a productive machine. All I can say is watch the videos on it and go play with it.

The insurance from my stolen phone covered $250 so it was @ $50 out of pocket. I wouldnt pay the $300 retail for it though because I am cheap. Its much cooler that the new iphone though.

It's a pretty sweet beast. I can see the appeal of having a larger screen, but I think I'd want a Bluetooth earpiece with it, rather than having to haul it out and hold it up to my ear all the time.

I like what this does, and the re-introduction of the stylus is nice for the fat-fingered. But seriously, this thing is just too big. It won't fit in me pocket, so that makes it generally not useful for day-to-day use.

Bluetooth is a gift form God though. Being hard of hearing this makes my life much easier as I have a pendent I wear most days now that acts as a direct link between my phone and hearing aids (iCom by Phonak) - minimal propagation loss as it removes one speaker/microphone pair from the conversation loop. Makes music enjoyable again too.

:prayer:

That's about how ghey it would be to carry one of those around. You'd need a fucking man-purse or a fanny pack to hold the damn thing.

Phone rule: it's not a fucking phone if it doesn't fit in my pocket comfortably.

Does it fit into a cargo pocket?

I've got a Droid bionic, and it's pretty much an info appliance that I also use as a phone.

Much. In honor of Darth, you can send me the Darth one Turd. It'll make a fine birfday present and look absolutely smashing on campus for these last few months. Thanks!
