    It's an adjustment. You can get used to it, but by no means does it ever feel completely natural. There are positives, like when you watch movies it's really fun. There are negatives, you pretty much have to use two hands for 60% of all tasks.

    EXACTLY, man. Inform yourself with YOUR OWN opinion based on facts and personal experiences, not others. Good man. :cool:

    Yeah, you don't tell me what to do, man.

    Odd. :eek:


    Not if you have big hands or can place the phone down on a surface where you can use one. :eek:

    I have the LG G3 and using it on a daily basis hasn't been an issue at all. My previous phone was the Galaxy S4 with it's 5" screen so moving up to the 5.5" wasn't a big deal.

    I can see it being a concern if you're moving from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 6 Plus but the retail space for screen, IMO, outweighs the "burden" of having a 5.5" screen (e.g. using both hands, portability, etc.).

    You can get a Nexus and an Android Wear round watch for the price of an iPhone with no contract. :eek:

    You can use the watch with iPhone 5c and 5s. This will sell out.

    People did buy iPods when iPhone was out too remember?

    I read reviews for the facts, not for their opinions. Who are they to tell me how it will "feel" in my hand? Not trolling. I'm shooting down your silly reasoning. :cool:

    The upfront amount you pay is a subsidized price of the phone. The carrier makes their money and more back through the term of your 2 year contract. There's a reason AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. have these new super low-cost plans... That's what you pay BEFORE you upgrade devices.

    You never ask your wife or husband for their opinion? You can't say their opinion doesn't effect your reasoning.

    I'm generally doing stuff where I can't do that. My hands aren't big enough to palm a basketball either. I can palm a soccer ball though... Also, typing with your phone flat on a surface doesn't feel natural either, it feels worse than just going two handed. Swype for WP8.1 fixed a bit of that, but not all things are rectified with it...

    tony, please quit quoting Swoly or be smart like myself and just put him on ignore. When you quote him I remember why I made that wise decision.

    ^^ Yeah, Tony. Let other people tell you what to do, like deciding on a phone. :grin:
    Yes, I ask my wife opinion on mutual things or things that involve both of us, but not on things I will buy for my sole use. We make decisions as a couple and communicate on those. Not on things where I'm going to be the only one using it. Maybe I'll buy her the new iPhone, but I won't rely on strangers' opinions on how the phone feels in their hands... since my wife's are the only ones that matter. That's reasonable, no?

    No, I don't know, you're just a username with some text to me. How does that matter who you are? You're trying to find things out on the iPhone, that's all.

    You stated something that didn't make a lot of sense. I simply let you know that it's unreasonable. :eek: Why can't I respond to that?

    Looks like either the watch announcement was baked in or the market really isn't liking it. I think a lot of people were expecting a round watch and were presented with the iPod Nano on a strap with features.

    lol I don't know why you're trying to justify the price with me considering I, too, have said the watch will sell out due to it being an Apple product even before the price came out.

    I'm just seeing the reasoning behind pricing a device that above the price of the phone that it needs in order to get a full user experience.

    As for the 5c and 5s users? Sure they can go buy the watch and pair it with those devices but how is that experience going to be the same? It's like putting new 20" rims on an 83' Oldsmobile.

    I really didn't know what to expect, but now that you mention it, round would've been much nicer.
