Samsung Galaxy Fonblet Rumor: 5.8-Inch Display

I’ll play devil’s advocate here, and suggest that at a certain point, it’s better to think of these things as small tablets than big-ass phones. Pair it with a Bluetooth headset so you don’t look like an ass while talking on the phone, and you’ve got one device to carry instead of two. There’s a pocket-ability problem for someone like me, but not for men who wear jackets and women who carry handbags. The biggest problem I see is that so many Android apps are designed for phone-size displays, not tablet-size displays.

I sure hope “Fonblet” isn’t what they’re actually going to call the thing, though.
