Yea, but that's what I like about it. Its size means I can literally multitask. For example, I can watch a show while writing a post; something I'm doing at this very moment. Also it's perfect for watching a movie, unlike anything on the iphone or even my sgs2 can offer.
Second, I can draw all over it. The feature I'm looking forward to is the ability to write all over the back of a photo. There are so many situations where I would do that. Whether it's jotting down the name of the songs from the band I'm currently watching or having a girl write her number on the back of her own photo, there are so many awesome and hilarious things I could do with it to keep track of time and info.
And lastly, it just looks professional. Grabbing it from the inside of my blazer pocket and opening the case looks, in a word, classy.
But that's a double edge sword and is the one factor pre-hands-on that worries me. The only thing that would make the phone better is if I rarely had to take it out. For instance, I've gotten pretty damn good at guessing the time. I always know what time it is roughly, but when I need to know the exact time I pull out my pocket watch.
With a phone it's different, especially a smart phone. You get contacted a hundred times a day from everything from email to facebook. **** honestly sucks and was one of the reasons I almost went back to a dumbphone aka the
jack bower phone specifically (the fucking thing was indestructible, and the only reason I'm not using it today is because it died to save my life, but that's a story for another day). And it's not like you can avoid those notifications either. For every ten shitty facebook messages you get, you get that one important email; so you have to check every time. Now until Google can figure out if my notifications are important, that is my life - constantly checking my damn phone. I've tried to go on vacation from it. I once went two weeks without a phone and while it was awesome for me, I was never given so much **** before. People thought I died or that I was an asshole for not getting back to them or blah blah blah you get the point. Hell, I even had people come over to my house randomly as if they were my neighbors and we were eight.
So what I need is something I can glance at a hundred times a day, a "Phone Companion" if you will, preferably on my wrist. Now I've done the research and all those smart watches suck. None of them can do the Dick Tracy walkie talkie thing and they're asking us to pay upwards of $300 for something a
toy could do 50 years ago.
If I were to make it, it would have a super widescreen touch display about 2-3" in length, be detachable from my wrist, and could take phone calls, notify me and write texts and emails. Something that I could rip off my wrist and double tap a text or take a phone call and then place it back on my wrist when I'm done. That way I would only bring out my phone for things more substantial than contacting people.Then I could have the best of both worlds; a phone that I could truly do damn near everything with that fits neatly in my jacket or in my slacks and still check the bullshit.
