Big phones would be the past sir.

Don't see where this would "out date" RIM's new device... whatever the spec in up being. This is just going to be bigger. Not sure how many people will want a phone this size... but it will sell to those that want both a tablet and a phone.

I think that RIM is going to have the Hardware on track... maybe not the fastest, but at least not a year or two behind like they have been in the past. And hopefully they will have QNX/BBX FULLY READY for prime time by then.

I just don't see anyone in the average consumer mindset wanting a phone that big. I can't imagine how poor battery life is going to be on such a massive device!

I don't think I am alone on this but I like to be able to have my phone in my pockets and enough room for maybe some more! I really think these 4"+ screens are getting way too big. The biggest phone I'd ever consider would be 4".

I am hoping that RIM is coming up with some real top notch hardware and BBX being something new and fresh. I have hope they can do this!

it will appeal to some people but not a huge crowd IMO. too big for my tastes for sure

The size alone is a turn off. If this phone was the exact size of the international Galaxy S2 then it would be much more appealing.

I want a smartphone, not a mini tablet. Anything over 4.3" is too big on a phone for me IMO. I'm interested in the Galaxy Nexus, but I have to see how it feels since it is a 4.65" screen. It's design is different though.

cool idea...not too small for a tablet (for say reading bookets/ playing games) but as a phone? my hand would cramp up holding it for a while.. needs a hand strap on the back

This thing is a good idea for sure. As a dude, that thing is way to big for my pockets. But I already know people that would prefer a much bigger screen and just toss it in their purses. It may cater to females more then males, or people who carry around a bag all the time. I wouldn't discount it for the size. It serves a market. I don't think BlackBerry could or should compete with this yet, if ever though. Just make a great phone for the masses now.

I think that's just too big. I find my iPhone4S screen to be perfect. I'm a woman and don't have to worry too much about fitting a phone in my pocket, just my handbag. But I still wouldn't want a mini-tablet as a phone. I find the iPhone4S screen to be a great mix -- not too big, not too small and extremely crisp and clear.

If you *just* want another smartphone, then this is just too big. If you want to consolidate devices and have a decent device with ample screen real-estate, then this is the way to go.

I'm into consolidating. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of all things smaller .....

Problem is it's not as good as either individually, but rather mediocre for both (too large for a phone, too small for a tablet).

Yeah it's a consolidation, but I doubt most would take that tradeoff for the reason above, especially with tablet sales already taking off.
