But didn't iCrapple already patent ALL watches????????

Ya know - because they NEVER existed before "that company" announced theirs??

I would love to have a smartwatch instead of a smartphone. Make it just as functional so I don't have a brick in my pocket all day.

I hate big phones, I would choose an iPhone 5 over a huge Galaxy S3. I am thankful for S4 mini 😀

Hope they get rid of the "Hyper Glaze" crap!

I really hope the gs4 and the gs4mini are much closer in specs than gs3/s3mini were. I'd like a good high-end ~4" phone.

Waiting on word of the Galaxy Note 3 with a 6.3 inch 1080p screen. Bigger is better.

Consequently, though, it'll naturally retail for a lower price.

C'mon, man. I know this is a tech site and not the NYT, but you're still a paid journalist.

Samsung just wants to piss off apple. They probably do not even care if they sell or not.
Nice troll Samsung!

Around 5" is the limit for a phone IMO. There comes a time when it's starting to not be convenient for a phone and you might as well get a tablet.

*throws money at screen*
I was due for upgrade in December and I'm holding out to see if I want to go S4 or LG Optimus G!

Me too! Can't see myself going backwards from now on, Size is ideal and not sure what the negative fuss is about it fits in all my clothes pockets no problem so far.

A tablet can't install whatsapp, a tablet can't make phone call without wifi.
If I can install whatsapp and receive phone calls without wifi, you'll see me hugging my Nexus 7 ALL THE TIME and I'll give away my SGS3 instantly.
YES, it fits into my pocket(I got a normal pocket) and YES I will put it up next to my face and YES I can stand next to your puny phones. lol, I have to type this in everyone of my of Nexus 7 as a phone reply.

Maybe if I call my Nexus 7 a "Mobile Device" that happens to make phone calls, that will put those cellphone zealots to peace. lol, it is like god(and/or Lord Steve J) put a condemn on the big phones. "Thou should not have big size phones!" Honestly speaking, I find myself texting 99% of the time. The only time I do phone calls now is with my parents who doesn't know how to text. So the bigger the screen, the better it is. I can easily fit my Nexus 7 into my pocket and still enjoy movies and games on the go.

My problem isn't fitting it into my pockets or such (I have a Nexus 7 too and it fits in my pockets). However, I find it uncomfortable to hold it up to me ear as if it was a phone simply because it's too large for that. around 5" is the most that I'd go for a phone. If I want larger, then like I said, I'll get a tablet.

I find myself making calls about as often as I text, maybe more often. I usually to family and friends, but if I'm trying to contact or be contacts in real time professionally, it's usually on the phone.
