It's okay you can stay in your little box...as someone who has bought and used the Note, it's not as big, as those who are looking from the outside in, say it is

Ya, forgot about that one, but really how is this doing in the sales department over the normal size phones ?
Wayyyyy too big and I guess as you mentioned, it would get old very quickly----------
Ya, right. Is that the reason you are on this iphone forum regarding the next iPhone ? Really wanting to get out of that monster NOTE of a phone ?
It was. Really !
Googled it. First hit:
"Samsung has announced that its 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note phablet has surpassed the 7 million sold mark which means it has inched closer to Samsung’s goal of selling 10 million units in total.
The company revealed the impressive figure today which comes after Samsung announced in March that it had sold 5 million Galaxy Notes worldwide.
Both figures are impressive considering the skepticism that some had about the potential success of a smartphone with a 5.3-inch display."

No doubt that you have to take it with a grain of salt as they say, but some of the details are right (such as the 9 pin connector, not 8 or 19), and it's possible there is some inside info there.
I agree the 5" screen seems very unlikely unless it's an in-between device.
I am still holding out for the 4.3" sized screen, per some rumors last year, that Apple made a $billion deal with LG to supply millions of 4.3" screens for a future product.
The difference is that phone in the picture is just a phone. If we wanted phones that are just a phone sure they can go smaller but a smartphone that's going to be used to consume and in some instances create things will be bigger and even though the screen is wider/longer the phone is still much thinner and portable than an early cell phone like in the picture
I love when people bring out 20 year old images of satellite phones for comparison to 4.8/5" smart-phones. Sad really.
As far as we've come, people still want to return to here
I'm getting too old for this ******...
Wow, that's a really thick flip phone! And why is it connected to his lunch pail?
One crucial element is missing from that report though. Among those 7 million phones, more than 3 million has been sold in a single country, South Korea, and it's very possible the sell-through figure might be higher for the Korean market than overseas. Without such strong sales in Korea, the sales look solid but not particularly great. It is a very "regional" product, so to speak.
Actually, more like 30 years and that is a cell phone, not a satellite phone. I used one of those back in the day.
Interesting. All the other leaked parts didn't seem wider. I hope this is right.
