Now you wanna ajak people. I aledi bought TWO lol.

Anyhows, just like the iFags who think that 3.5 inches is the "perfect" screen size, I think that 5 inches is going TOO FAR, at least where smartphones are concerned.

I mean, it's a phone and I use my phone one handed while on the move A LOT (for phone stuff AND surfing, hence my sub 12hour battery life most of the time, even with extended batteries).

I can BARELY type single handedly as it is with the SGS2 woi, if I ever get the Note, I'll have to have BOTH my hands free before I can do anything - which is gonna cut my enjoice time by a considerable margin.

So no. Sticking with the SGS2 for now, and prolly until my Blue OLEDs die off. If I EVER get itchy for a larger screen, I'll jump to a tablet of some sort.

Only thing that's gonna make me even think of going anywhere else is a phone with full-stripe HD AMOLED screen (4.5 inches MAX) + properly implemented Wolfson DAC + 8MP++ BSI sensor -> specs I HOPED the GalNex would have, but it didn't either.

On other unrelated news, I dropped my SGS2 today. Hard. Against a tiled floor. Battery cover popped slightly open, but that's it. It remained alive through the entire ordeal too.

Thankfully, I wasn't using the Momax. If I was, the increased mass would have probably resulted in harder impact - which the crappy Momax case would probably not handle that well.

Managed to crack the el-cheapo bumper I was using near the DBT antenna hole though, oh well. Thankfully I plug all the antenna holes in ALL my cases with electrical tape (for some unknown reason it will ALWAYS fall to the ground that end first lol).

So, score two for my heavily armoured SGS2 (BSE skin overall + Glas/Estoc front + el-cheapo ebay bumper), zero for Uncle Newton. Fuuuh.

Reason why I've not bought a tablet yet is that humongous screen... which seems cumbersome to carry and to use one-handed. I'm not getting the Note as well but not plainly because it's huge. more of like it's not much of an upgrade compared to what we're hearing about the SIII... I agree too that the phone has to be manageable one-handed or not you're just venturing into tablet waters. Which then... would call for a full-fledged 10' display eh? I second you on that point.

On your near death experience: Had mine, probably pee-d a little bit as I heard my girlfriend drop my phone, see her eyes pop followed by mouthful of apologies... and me trying to look cool and say "It's alright... I know you didn't mean to. It's just a phone"...

... and then go change me underpants

Too many people and the thread is moving too fast. Uncle Benny might not have time to read every single post. Better you PM him.

Agreed. If he went and said:

"Hey there, I is the selling accessories. Come and buy: LINK"

Now that's sales spamming. Bulk buys are useless without the community to bulk it IMHO, so we just discreetly accept indirect bulk offers.

All in all we're more tolerant of these kinda stuff over here.

@darkangel: ROFL. That made my day bro.
