I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S, but what I want to say relates to pretty much all smartphones that I have seen. Without doubt their added functionality is welcome, but they are all very big and heavy (if compared to older mobile phones)!

When I am working in the office it bothers me a little, but for example when I go jogging I usually take a phone with me, and it is very cumbersome.

When I go dancing, I have to leave it in a bag by the table, because it hardly fits in my pocket and limits my dancing moves.

I can not see how this problem can be solved - if the screen is reduced in size the functionality and ease of use would suffer greatly. Can you think of any solution?

(it will be solved when technology advances enough to transmit images straight to our brain or at least our retinas).
[General Topics] gordyffc:
Catch 22 really isn't it with size and functionality, personally I don't mind the larger screens though. I go out running and use my Desire HD for music and RunKeeper but it's fine in a leather case and fits perfectly in a pocket on my sleeve.
[General Topics] jrojrojro:
Hmm a sleeve pocket is an interesting idea. I put it in my pants pocket and it harms the balance and dangles, but a sleeve pocket can work.

The iphone really isn't that bulky at all.
[General Topics] jrojrojro:
Some of my friends have iPhones and they are about the same size and weight as my samsung galaxy s
[General Topics] aaa:
HTC Desire is not bulky but Desire HD and Sensation for example are bulky.

For me, everything above 4" are bulky and under 4" are not.

Edit:

I do not really like the trend. Newer and more powerful smarties are getting bigger and bigger in size for example Desire<Sensation. If things keep going like this, we will be having a smartphone in the size of Galaxy Tab 10.1 or at least HTC Flyer in the future.

Note: Imagine someone holding a smartphone as big as Galaxy Tab 10.1 on his ear while having a call. LOL
[General Topics] BenKranged:
If you list some "dumb" or feature phones that you consider pocketable it might help the discussion.

Basically what is your ideal size/form factor for a phone?

More choices for consumers is never a bad thing. If you find 4" and larger phones unwieldy, buy a smaller device.
[General Topics] aaa:
Yup! That is why I am sticking with Desire (3.7") :)

I will accept anything below 4".

hmmmm...."dumb" phone LOL ... :D
[General Topics] Silent8Strike:
I agree phones are getting larger, but as far as weight and slimness go I can only see improvements. My G1 was a "fat" phone, and then I got the Desire Z, which was by no means fat, but it wasn't thin either. Now with the Galaxy S II, it may have a 4.3" screen but it weighs less and is thinner than all my previous phones. At 8.49 mm thick and only weighing 116g its 1/3 lighter and almost half as thick as the Desire Z. If it the screen size itself that's the problem, options I think may become more limited in the modern market.
[General Topics] sajidmkhan:
but now days its not bulky
[General Topics] lazy8s:
I like big screens and I cannot lie...

Seriously though, growing up I always wondered why pants' pockets were so freakin big. Now I know why. I like large phones. They could be a little larger IMO if they streamed HD for long periods.
[General Topics] moe6:
I hate this new trend of HD screens and their giant proportions resulting from it. Not all pants pockets are huge, try a nice pair of dress pants fitted to you. Can't get away without a bulge. Jeans too, they end up just limiting your movement swinging all huge as you walk.

I am completely disgusted by the new Droid 3 because of it's size :(.
[General Topics] aloy99:
Yeah, I prefer the form factor of mid-end phones like the Xperia Ray.
[General Topics] sabrelime:
It depends on the phone. My LG Phoenix isn't that large. Especially not compared to the bigger phones.
[General Topics] Jed Dignazio:
I personally like a bigger screen. I think a 6 inch screen and slim build would be perfect for me.

Who in Tampa are has a charge and wants it rooted? Im making a how to for youtube and want a clean canvas. My charge is and has been rooted and romed already and don't wanna go in reverse.

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You could always flash the ED1 or ED2 package that was released at the end of last week. It will take you back to completely stock as if your phone came with the build that you flashed.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanGB:
So i've searched the forum and found very little answers about this.

I've installed CM7 and MIUI (current) ROMS, both times they work fine but i get lousy video playback and compatibility compared with the 2.2 Froyo stock ROM

Getting "this video could not be played" on about 5 different video players.

I've wiped cache, killed apps to free up memory, but video all videos (esp 720p) is choppy and laggy as hell.

Anyone got anything to say about this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terzer:
Hello,

I need 10-20 mb from the internal memory to carry mp3s. The reason: Almost every day I need to update the music in my car (I use memory card) and I want to copy 2-3 mp3s in the internal memory and then insert the car's memory card and copy them in to it. It was easy with my previous phone (Tytn II), but now the internal memory is locked. Can I unlock it somehow?

Thank You!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
the internal memory is only really accessible using abd push, or using a file explorer like from estrongs (but your phone needs to be rooted) :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terzer:
Thanks, I tried ES Explorer but it says copy failed. My phone is rooted.

Will most probably end up trading in.

For anyone going the craigslist route..anything special besides wiping we need to do when selling the phone? Sprint wont give anyone any issues trying to activate the phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] jshields1986:
please be aware if your going the route on trading it in to RS/BB/Sprint youll most likely have to wipe and if rooted will have to un-root

Keeping as a back up..
[HTC EVO 3D] El Kido:
FYI, here are typical trade in values below for common phones people will probably be be bringing.

HTC Evo: $150

HTC Hero: $40

Samsung Epic: $106

Samsung Moment: $38

Samsung Transfrom: $52

Samsung Intercept: $38

Nexus S: $117

Evo is the best to trade in, less hassle and a decent deal. The rest ehh. IF you have a moment or something trade it in, id probably keep the hero as a backup

[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
My wife did that for me. I had used the Touch Pro for a year plus without a scratch, she started using it after I got my TP2 a ways back and within about 4 months the screen was smashed.

As for my TP2, I'm not sure. I may just hang onto it for a little while as a backup, just in case my wife totals her current phone(Samsung Restore) again.

Are you kidding? 4 years ago the mogul was a great phone. It was one of the first with windows mobile 6.1, and 2nd generation 3g. It also had useful things like a keyboard and gps. It says much for a phone when it's still (alabeit barely) usable 4 years later.

It'll hopefully be a moot point on Friday anyhow.

one question, what happen if you trade in the evo 4g, and then you return the 3D back within 30 days, they give you the money?? or your 4g?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I've been contemplating trading in my 4G too and would only regret it if I brought the 3D back...which I will do on day 29 if HTC doesn't come through on their promise....make sure you let them know this...but I'm too afraid of losing my Evo4G...that phone has been a beast and still hauls so much ass that I just don't have to heart to give it away, for money or not....and I doubt they hold onto your phone for you in case you change your mind...

Besides, it'll be nice to have the last-gen best super-phone as a backup.....

....but those coming from a moment, well, unlocked bootloader (crypto-key signed, I know I know) or not...pffffft.....trade it in, or smash...fast...and never look back.

I just can't justify giving away the best smartphone and coolest computing device I've ever owned in my 20+ years of geeking around....perhaps I'm overly sentimental....

...and then I easily justify that sentiment....It's easily worth much more than $100--Just ask sprint what a new one costs off contract...and it is insurance against being smartphone-less if you have to send your 3D in....and it is already rooted....just in case the HTC screws us over....you'll want a decent phone while we all wait for the N4 or Gs2....DO YOU HEAR THAT HTC? ALL OF US WILL WAIT FOR A NEW SAMSUNG PHONE AFTER RETURNING YOURS IF IT ISN'T "UNLOCKED" IN 30 DAYS!

Ahem...excuse me...I'm ranting...but....unless you simply cannot afford the phone otherwise--or perhaps having an unrootable phone is somehow okay with you--trade it in.

Yes just flash the 11.19 radio from 3.70 froyo and flash s-on in recovery. After you update the radio and s-on just flash the pc36img.zip in bootloader and you'll be unrooted.
