6.5" Screen on a Smartphone... anybody?

[Rally Android]

Ever heard of a 7inch tablet? There is no way that there will be a 6.5 inch phone 5.5 inch maybe but not a tablet that makes phone calls.

Really?

I think that would be definitely too big for me I don't like the size of the Galaxy Note. When I put it in my hand it didn't feel like a phone. I would have to pass on anything that big or bigger.

Then why we call that a smart phone, we should call is a smart-tablet or some thing else...

Basically that's what it is. A tablet that makes phone calls.

6.5 inches is a hat size so you could wear it on your head with the android handset holder headband and be happy all the time and have a neck like a pitbull!! What's not to like??

Way too big. I can barely use my Evo 3D with one hand if I need to

You mean a head-holder....something like this>

I would be interested in this size, I am currently waiting and hoping that the Note comes out with Sprint soon, I am eligible for upgrade in August! Why not an edge to edge phone screen, with all the technology out I believe this would be possible.

Oh, yes, 6.5" to 7.5" display, YES. I would love a phone-tablet (or tablet-phone) of this display size! I always use the speakerphone on my HTC Inspire and previous cells---so size of a cell held to my ear is not applicable.

Prior to my 10" Toshiba Thrive tab, I tried an HTC Flyer for a week---the only thing missing for me was voice call capability. The Flyer just seemed like it should have calling.

OK....do you guys remember when the iPad first launched and every Android user said it was nothing more than an iPhone and that people would look stupid using those iPads? Now who is going to be the one looking silly? For me, I think that 4.3" is just about right, anything bigger than that I think it has lost it's phone appeal and moved on to a tablet.

I agree... almost. I have the Gnex, with a 4.65 screen. Its about the limit for me, and I've got decent sized hands. I tried the note (5.3 inch screen) and found it terribly awkward, both in my hand(s) and held up to my head.

That being said, IMHO the Note is kind of a specialty item. A small sized tablet, which I would imagine limits its usability as a tablet. Yet its awkward as a smartphone, due to the fact it would almost always have to be handled 2 handed.

Look at the international Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, you can make calls with it.

Yo, my husband has this wireless device (probably not what you term international); I set it up for him and after a year of resolving probs with it I'm definitely not partial to a Samsung tab. In fact, although I'm very attracted to the Note, I've been wondering whether I'd have the same lack of feeling toward it (since it's a Samsung product). I plan to purchase a Note 2 as soon as it comes to AT&T if it is more advanced/intuitive/smoother than the tab 7.

Can anyone in here (who has used both the Note and the 7" tab) please comment on differences?

Thats a bit much, keep it 5" and under and focus on making brilliant screen displays
and excellent cameras as well as awesome tough stable hardware.

I'm surprised that there are no "That's what she said" jokes in this thread
