I hear ya, once you go phablet its hard to go back
and I know that from having the GN2 and selling it off due to the limited storage and getting an S3. I actually found the S3 to be well small. I didn't enjoy reading emails, web pages constantly needed to be zoomed in on and overall I wanted the bigger screen. Of course a bigger screen is more to carry and it comes with trade offs.
Now that the S4 32GB is coming this Friday and so is my OG Pro I am stuck trying to decide if I go forward or pay the difference. I am not looking to follow the crowd, but I was truly excited about the S4's features, but decided many of them could be done with 3rd party apps, or not something I would use at all. So while on vacation this week I likely won't be thinking about any tech, I am going tech free. I will have my flip phone with me and an ipod for the plane ride and that's it. No tablet, no laptop, nothing. Should be an interesting few days.
