Time past by, we have become more advance but our cell phone has become bigger then ever produced in market. People start using tab which size bigger than my mouse pad. That's the technology.
I really can't accept it cause the function of cell phone has been merge to computers function. Maybe this very useful to some people but for not for me. I feel so weird when using huge cell phone near my cheek and ear.
Did you guys using bigger cell phone right now?

Recently I have bought a smart phone, which is 4.3 inches in size. I like it as it has all the functions that are almost the same as that of a computer. I use it a lot in reading news. It is a lot of fun to me. Have a good day, challs.

Sorry for my late reply. According to what you said, I think the size is big for normal phone function and that's why you find it has more function like a computer. The evolution has been made to make a cell phone to do computer's function and not the vice versa as we never seen any company try to make a computer to runs cell phone function.

Yes willianjisir, smart phone is bigger cause they try to put inside it all function as you can have in computer. They's why they make it big. But if we look the other way round, it could be the computer manufacture can compete with the smart phone manufacturer by producing small computer even smaller than netbook that we can see in market now, by just adding the calling function with smooth voice to voice communication. They have that function now but it's not efficient and smooth as we use cell phone. I think they can do it easily. But, I'm not sure why this idea did not make the computer manufacturer to invent it in their new product line, maybe to give chance to cell phone manufacturer to have some business.

It's kinda weird at first, but got used to it. That is how technology evolves, I guess. So maybe next in line is the transparent cellphone?

Hahaha... how could it will be transparent cellphone? Can you describe it? Maybe cellphone manufacturer can use your idea and make it real in the market. You are right, this is how technology evolves, thing get change when new technology invented.
Actually it's depends if we can make use of it in our daily life. The new technology won't suite anyone. For people who use to made forex trading, this smart phone will be very useful to them as they don't have to bring their laptop everywhere to do trading. Just enough using their smart bigger phone.

Hi friend, now the technology is very much improved and the size of computer is reducing by introducing tablets, but the size of cell phone is increasing with the introduction of various smart phones with additional functions, i too hate the big size cell phones, always like to use the handy phones

That's the exact idea what they are trying to do right now. Convert the cell phone to a computer and convert the computer to a cell phone. They try to put a side the function of these devices originally. Why don't they choose one? Either making the cell phone becomes computer or making the computer carrying cell phone function. It's likely, computer can carry cell phone function but this will ignore our convenience, a handy cell phone. If they do so, more likely cell phone company will have nothing to sell.

Yup, I use a Samsung Galaxy. Imagine an iphone and probably expand it about an inch or two on each side. It has a huge screen. Every time I pull it out to call or show someone, they're like "WHOA! That's huge!" I never thought it was that big since my dad has one that is a cell phone/tablet hybrid. That one is close to impossible to fit in a normal pocket.

I have that impression from my friend as well. As a result, I sell it and turn back to my lovely cute cell phone. It make me feel ashamed to answer a call in public. It also difficult to put it at right place in my car cause someone always sit at the customer front sit, otherwise I can put it on the sit. In other words, it's difficult to handle it.

Smart phones have been getting bigger but not the basic phones... And even then, they are slimmer than before... I've been using cell phone since I was 18 back in 1989... You should've seen some of the phones back then... Brick phones back then are a lot more thicker & longer than any phones out now... Smart phones now are wider because of the screen size... But that's about it...

I agree! As time passed by, technologies become huger and bigger like the galaxy note which I feel awkward and uncomfortable to use as a cellphone if I have that kind of phone. I mean its hard to display something like that in front of many people texting or calling using such kind of huge gadget. :)

Rightly said. Actually I think that the bigger smart phones are for those who want to do their computing jobs while they are on go. I personally dislike to use such bigger handset because the prime reason is that I do not have such computing job which I need to perform while I am on go but yes I am satisfied with my handset which give me facility of calling, messaging, sharing, browsing, camera, music etc…And the second thing I dislike this bigger handset is it is very big and does not accommodate in pocket so you have to put them in hand which I seem very boring. Compare to smaller one such bigger handset consumes huge battery power in order to provide better resolution which downs very fast.

I like your point there, bigger smart phone suitable for people to do their computing job while they are on the go. But, what the point to have laptop, smartphone and cellphone at the same time? Maybe laptop not fast enough when surfing or working with microsoft word, or maybe the cellphone don't offer convenience when we do some office work outside and then they come out with the idea of smart bigger phone or tablet. But, I think it's just not the good idea. Everything still go to new idea, trending and technology.

I agree. People before did not want big cellphones so people tried to make it more lightweight and compact. But nowadays, bigger phones are released in the market and people are buying them! An example of a phone that has these properties is the samsung galaxy. The samsung galaxy is bigger than the Iphone. I think it won't even fit in my pocket. Happy mylotting.

I actually have this phone. I agree that it's huge. However, my pockets are much larger so it fits, but at a cost of taking up most of my right pocket.

How if I'm using smart phone and put it in my backpack when suddenly there's incoming call? I got to put my bag down, open the bag, take out the smart phone then look whose calling before answering. I think these processes will make the incoming call become miss call. Then I will have to use my credit to call back. I think this is annoying.
Or do you suggest to have basic phone and smart phone?

My mobile phone is currently a 3 inch one so it still fits in my pocket. But I'm worried about what I'll get it they continue to grow in size. Its true, there are samsung mobiles out there that are almost as big as the tablets, they'll be the same size soon. I like that you can do more and more with mobiles they're becoming more like laptops but I just don't like the idea of not being able to carry a mobile in my pocket anymore.
