The Problem with Big Phones

Android phone manufacturers seem to have an obsession with huge screens. It doesn't do anything to improve them, and the resolution is rarely better than smaller screens. In the end, they just don't look as good, and they're harder to use.
The recent introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Note is so humorous. I can already see the customer-sales person interactions now.

Customer: "What can the Samsung erm... Galaka-note thingy do?"
Sales Person: "The Samsung Galaxy Note?"
Customer: "Yeah, that one. What's special about it?"
Sales Person: "Well, it's too big for a pocket or purse, yet too small to be usable as a tablet. Best of all, it uses a stylus! Wait! Where are you going?"

Samsung should have stuck to what they were best at: making poorly done imitations of Apple products. Better yet, throw the copying and silly gimmicks aside, and make something people would actually like to use.
