This isn't meant to be a weak attempt at trolling, as I'm genuinely interested and I may be out-of-the-loop: Do people really care about portable telephones __this_much__?
Before you know it, our phones will soon be replacing our credit cards (i.e. wallets) and opening doors for us (i.e. our keys). Mobile phones are arguably one of the most important things we carry around with us in our daily life, and it won't be going away anytime soon. And whoever innovates fastest to add more value to our lives, wins.
My hands may be too big. I still can't find a mobile "smart" phone that I'm comfortable typing on (including the iPhone 5). I've tried several.
