I'm kind of surprised Apple isn't taking more flak for coming out with a bigger phone now. As usual, the poo-pooh any use case other than the one they provide for (noone would ever use a phone bigger than ours, it was extensively tested, etc.). But then when a competitor produces it and shows there's a market ready for it, they scramble to catch up and then get praised for their new product like it's something revolutionary.

Samsung has some phablets that are absolutely huge. The Galaxy Max I think it's called, for example: it takes two SIM cards and is bigger than even the Note. Nice phone though, and for web surfing it's close to ideal. I still like my Nexus 7 tablet though, and especially for writing with a bluetooth keyboard or for using as an ebook reader. For those two purposes, I find even phablets a bit too small.
