I got the new Samsung Galaxy II for Xmas, and although i love the phone...it's ridiculous..It's just a little too big in my opinion. I never dropped my old phone, like NEVER...and I've dropped this thing 5 times already..I can honestly say i didn't drop my old phone 5 times in a year and a half.
It just is a little too big to handle easily. and from what I understand, there are even bigger ones.
I gave my daughter my old Galaxy S, it was in perfect condition, and I'm like "hey, you wanna use Dad's new phone?"...LOL...I miss my old phone..HA

ive got a Samsung Replenish and my only complaint is that the back is so slick that it slides out of your hand all the time, its also very light and thin.
-
My wife got the Samsung Galaxy II and I got the HTC Amaze for Christmas and we both love it. I just have to get used to the touch screen but the functions on it are awesome.
-
Yeah I've got the evo 4g, the new smart phones are big but you get used to it pretty quickly.

what other accessories are to big for you to carry gronk? just throw them in your purse.

How big are your hands?

I guess, that's probably it, i could text on my old phone in my sleep, this one i'm constantly fucking up because it's just slightly bigger, I'm using two thumbs now , where i only used one on my old phone. And like Quaker said, it's so light that you constantly fumble with it..it like bounces off my fingers if i don't have it securely..a heavier phone probably sits in your hand more solidly

Ive got big hands, and as my friends say, "sausage fingers"

Blackberry's are too small for me to easily use. I like a phone with buttons

Yeah these huge phones look ridiculous in the pocket of my skinny jeans (no homo) ;D

I have big muscles and a big dick so I cannot settle for anything less than a big phone.

I have got big small muscles and a big small dick so I cannot settle for anything less than need to compensate with a big phone.

have you tried Swype for typing? Works good for me
I gave it a shot when I got my first Galaxy, didn't stick with it because there was no voice-to-text option on that keyboard, and I do that a lot. I'll check to see if this one has it

Download the new version, big boss. It actually has a ridiculously accurate voice-to-text option now.
I tested it out and nearly filled two text message worth of text and there were no errors. After a few more tests I was able to pick up deliberate mistakes, but overall I was pretty floored at how accurate it is. If I need to send an urgent text while driving I use Swype's microphone option to send a quick text reply.

When I finally get a tablet I am going to have a belt hook made and walk around like it's my new phone. ;D
Yrs ago when the brick phones were around, people anted smaller, than smaller arrived then big started coming back again...

If I didn't have an Iphone I would buy the same one Groink, it's pretty awesome. You need to start using a manbag. :D

I like Swype a lot. Works great on the phone. When I got my 7 inch tablet, the thing seems monster sized.

got the nexus right before xmas for free when the verizon plus stores did the one
day promo on the 19th where all smartphones (including nexus and iphone 4s)
were free with the purchase of 2 accessories at 30% off. I got a leather case
for my mom's cell phone and a few screen protectors. pretty sweet deal.
the phone is sick! google earth is pretty handy for getting lost in some of the
areas here in los angeles.
has anyone else jumped on that glitch going on with verizon for getting
ur data package bumped up to Unlimited for free without having been grandfathered
into the old plan?
I did...with 2 phones! I had just got the iphone 4s a few weeks ago (luckily
i found out about the verizon plus free nexus phone thing with 2 days left to
return my iphone for a refund of $170) and I am soooo happy about now
having unlimited data! I even got a device to turn my nexus into a mobile
hotspot without accessing the hotspot feature thru verizon and so far verizon
hasn't said or done anything about unauthorized tethering.

Was just reading a story of someone who tried to exploit that glitch, but Verizon caught him and charged him for the overages, tread carefully my friend!
I picked up two new items this holiday season, the new Motorola Atrix 2 from at&t, 4.3 inch screen on this smartphone, so I too have dropped it a few times already (I have unlimited data with them because I was grandfathered in"
And the new Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 from Verizon! :D tabbing away!

So is this smartphone bigger than my Droid? I actually picked the Droid over an Iphone because the screen is larger. I have really big hands and old eyes, I need a big screen to see what's on it and the larger keyboard to be able to key in anything without touching two or three keys at once. So far, after a little over a year and a half, I've not dropped it once. At least now, I don't haul my labtop to Starbucks with me 'cause I can do most things on the smartphone that I was doing on the laptop there....like posting on Getbig. LOL.
One major problem is that the smartphone is too big to fit in the pouch of my thong when I wear that out in public....suppose I could just shove it in my ass crack! Just kidding.

I'm not sure what size the screen on ur droid is, but for reference, iphones have a 3.5" screen.
the new nexus has a 4.65" screen.
it's only a little over an inch but it makes the phone look twice as big.
Also, while the nexus is dramatically bigger, it's also lighter than the iphone!
camera's great. love every feature i've found so far.
I used siri on the iphone for over a week and i prefer google voice assistant.
regarding the tethering, I only use the hotspot feature when needed, otherwise I'm strictly
using my phone for the unlimited. And I don't think the story you read was about this same
deal verizon is running as they've been sending mixed announcements in regard to it.
you could totally be right tho', but no individuals have been reporting any problems with
verizon and this unlimited data so far. helps that we're not doing anything illegal or
against the rules even (tethering aside)

I got in on a ton of best buy's blackfriday online sales.
I'm almost embarassed to say how much I spent,
but I've got a free nexus, 73" 3d 120hz mitsubishi tv,
20 ps3 games (including all new psMove stuff),
the 10" acer iconia tab, 7" acer iconia tablet, and
the 7" dell streak tablet all for less than 1500.
no lie.
(all but the nexus and a few of the ps3 games n stuff
were from bestbuy.com)

Just measured the Droid and it is 4.25" assuming you are supposed to do a diagonal measurement like with a monitor. Like you said on these little puppies an inch makes a big difference.
The droid is heavy. You definitely know when it is in your pocket.
I too use Verizon. Currently, the plan I am on is still unlimited when it comes to data. Although I don't really use it enough to get anywhere close to using up limits. I don't like talking on the phone much either. All my calls are short and to the point. In Oregon, it is illegal to talk on a cell phone unless it is hands free. It hardly seems worth buying the equipment for that when I probably make or get a call less than once a day.
My wife has a flip phone. She's yet to use it once in the four years she's had it. I charge it for her and that is where it stays is on the charger. The only way she'd have it on her is if I put it in her purse for her. LOL!
We still have land two land lines at the house, which some folks would say is unnecessary. We've had the same phone numbers in the house for thirty + years....it is hard to part with them.

ive got a Samsung Replenish and my only complaint is that the back is so slick that it slides out of your hand all the time, its also very light and thin.

Is Margaret impressed by your cool new phone?

i love my galaxy sII
it fell only once in 6 weeks but nothing happened

I've been using my HTC Hero for two years now and I love it - hence the reason I haven't changed handsets in that time. I bought a nice rubber casing for it so it never slips out my hands. However, I was actually considering getting the Samsung Galaxy Note (below) and even though I've got fairly big hands, it almost looks TOO big - too big to be practical and slip into your jeans pockets for example. I was only considering getting it to double it up as a sat-nav because the Hero's CPU is pretty weak and can't take all the info needed.

Groink... This is what I've been saying for the past year or so... All of the new Android phones are coming with these massive screens.
They look great, but the user interaction on a screen that large is difficult with one hand.
If the iphone keeps the same form factor, I will never leave it.

I've been drooling over the Galaxy note since I started looking for new phones in August!
the specs on that phone are just amazing and the size is to die for.
best camera on any phone in the market, 5.5" screen, built in stylis,
and it's ice cream sandwich (android 4.0) update i believe is now available.
only problem is getting an unlocked version stateside. Can't get one for
less than $600 unless u live in europe or asia!!
but the free galaxy nexus will keep me busy for awhile :)
-
I have the s2 its faster better screen better size and all the apps can be installed for free. My gf.looks at her iphone with distain everytime she sees mine.

this..i love my phone...it's fucking amazing. but 4 inches is all the screen you need. it's a Phone...not a pad
I want to be able to manipulate my phone easily with one hand, it should not be a two hand operation.
The first galaxy was the perfect size phone..I wish they would just offer than exact phone but with the latest tech... but all the droids just keep getting bigger and bigger...what's next ...5 inch screens ??
-
Ive got small hands and though this is awesome for viewing videos I think it should loose half an inch. They could do that by loosing the button on the bottom rather than the screen
-
I've been waiting for the Nexus for months, but now I'm passing because the battery life is very restrictive, even with 4G turned off. Big screens require tons of power.

fuck yeah...my phone doesn't make it 14 hours without needing a charge. and it's a week old, latest greatest shit, supposedly "high end' battery ::)
-
verizon is selling back-up batteries for the nexus at $20 a pop.
I got 2 extras.
considering i got the phone and one battery for free, $40 for
the nexus PLUS 3 batteries is a no-brainer.

The fact that they are selling batteries at all is hysterical. The reason I have the Droid is because my Samsung Slide's battery was no longer holding a charge. I went to the Verizon store to get a replacement battery, since this is where I got the phone, and they told me they don't carry batteries, sending me to Batteries Plus for one. The battery I needed was out of stock and cost about $50 which is exactly what the Droid cost me at Costco.
I suspect cell phones are a throwaway item after two years. Seems like a waste. But such are the times we live in.
My Linksys wireless router is about three years old. The past week or so, I have had to reset it several times because it it dropping the connection. Guess it is time to replace this too....sigh!

I'm personally liking this new trend of bigger crisper screens... Its definitely a luxury, not needed, not like we'd die without it, and its not for everyone, but I like it!
When I don't have my Android tablet on me (not all that often) the big screen Android phone is a nice substitute to keep me connected!!

I hear you on the screens, but I also have a problem with them. I love my Droid X when I'm on the train or at the office or on the bowl. If I'm hiking in the woods, trail running, etc, I don't like it. I wish we could swap the SIM cards into small flip phone in the US, but that's probably for a later date.
The Nexus is running ICS and is everything I've waited for in a phone. But like Groink says the size is too much, and the battery issue makes it a no go. I'm finding myself being lured in by Apple, due to it's size and camera quality. I'll miss the customization, but will get over it.
-
returned my iphone 4s for the nexus.
totally happy with having done so.
but, i should add that i also have the ipod touch 4th gen.
and from what i saw in the week n a half of playing with
the iphone, the only thing the ipod touch can't do is siri.
and considering my touch is the 32gb, i've got the best of
both worlds in terms of using ios and android.

Remember how big cell phones were, then they started getting smaller, and they made fun of this in Zoolander? Then the phones started getting to be close to that small, but now we have smart phones and they are big again. Not sure where I'm going with this, but had to share it.

You can swap Sims if you have at&t or t mobile or any gsm provider, I often do that when I'm traveling and have two or three cell phones on me from the US, Europe, and Egypt!
But Verizon and sprint use cdma and that's connected to the device.... But their 4g lte service uses a Sim card so that can be moved.

Don't sweat the battery life at first. Do FULL battery drains and don't leave it constantly charged.
If you're geekier and have your Android device rooted, download an app called Battery Calibration. Calibrate it just once after a week or two of solid usage and see how things go.
One of the biggest drains is syncing. If you have Facebook, Twitter or an email app make sure it's not checking hourly. Developers usually program them to sync in very short intervals to provide the best user experience, without taking battery life into consideration. I've tweaks a few very accessible settings on people's phones and gotten 10 more hours to a charge. Nothing super technical was done either, just a few settings changes.
I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus when my provider gets it. Phones are $600+ outright in Canada and I can't even buy one outright from another provider because they're in such high demand. Such an awesome phone. Lots of nerds modding the shit out of it too. 8)

Bingo! Good post right there, I practically have all my syncing off except for my Gmail.
My other E-mails, facebook, Currents, google+, talk, news, etc etc etc are all set for only manual sync which I perform whenever I need to see something there. Makes a huge difference on battery life!
Something else to consider - most people won't like to hear this.... if you have a 4G LTE phone... turn off the 4G LTE, and run it on 3G cdma - thats plenty fast for day to day usage.... you really practically need 4G LTE if you're trying to stream movies and videos - so save it for that and it will save you some serious battery life!
-
Bought my wife the HTC Rezound, fucking fast as hell.

Huge differences for sure, man. I don't compromise syncing and still get over 30 hours of life on a charge. I used my phone all day long and text like mad.
If I had a 4G LTE phone I'd keep it on 3G server and only enable 4G when watching videos and stuff. Heck, most 2G networks are fine if it's just for calls too. If you have great 2G coverage and poor 3G coverage then that'd make sense.
I'm fortunate to have awesome 3G coverage and a tower near my home, work place and places I hang out. A good network helps because your phone isn't always ranging or flip flopping and shit.
