Using phones for anything prolonged just seems mad to me, too uncomfortable, but I guess other people don't find that.
yep. though they're ok for brief periods of kindling if you have to stand for your commute.
I had a dell streak (I bet you did, dirty bollocks y') in 2010, & it was a shit phone if I'm honest, but so much bigger of a screen (5") than the usual iphones & whatnot of the day. great for reading, browsing, watching video.... but a rubbish phone. & (then) deeply unfashionable, because no-one had heard of 'phablet' then. I got rid, & have had a succession of iphones since, sticking with the 5 because it's a sensible size & does what I need... itunes, kindle, email (reading), guitar tuner, camera, shazam, whatsapp.... sometimes even use it as a phone. two old iphone 4s are now internet radios.
& now everyone's got these feckin' huge phones with screens like infinity pools.
