>>No way do I want to have a big device like that in my pocket. I have a phone to be mobile not be weighed down by a square brick in my pocket. I have a Nokia 920 and that thing is borderline too big for me and it's not that big. The bigger size doesn't buy that much in usability IMHO.

Figures say different- there's a strong tension between the need for bigger screen vs need for miniature devices. Which is one of the reasons why fashionable specs or other devices you wear that can cast huge visually permeable screens directly into your eyes, are so interesting. It's like a 55" LED TV - once you have it, you won't ever go smaller. ;-) Not sure what size screen was on your Android phone but if you have a newer handset then the iPhone screen really is teensy. I don't believe I'd want to go any smaller than 4.7" again.

>>I had a Galaxy Tab 2 and it was a complete piece of sh*t. Browser sucked big time. The UI was a mess. In fact that device was what finally pushed me over the edge to buy my iPad last year. I hate Apple and their marketing, but at the time there was simply no comparison for devices. Since then I also got rid of my Windows Phone (and a temporary Android phone I had) and got an iPhone. I do think things are better now, but I still feel looking at current Android devices that Apple's stuff is simply
better designed and works smoother and more naturally.

Can't comment on the Tab2, but my anecdote would be that kids now are saying "ugh" re iPhone5 and are downgrading to iPhone 4. Who knows what will happen now that Apple is looking at 6" versions.
