This.

Who, exactly likes these huge phones? IMHO the 5 is even too big. I took my sister's phone and put it in my pocket. It didn't fit nicely. Made me feel better about having the 4s

Seriously. Who wants a phone that big?

Raceday as in car? What app are you using?

Harry's Laptimer. It's the best $16 you'll ever spend if you are ever on the track.

Here's an example-and remember, as soon as I get off the track I have my data available on my phone-no transferring to a PC.

It's all about the display size race. And if you want to capture the market and move product, you need a big HD screen. Big displays and thin housings sell phones; tried and true. As more people use their phones for browsing and video streaming, I don't see a change in direction coming anytime soon.

To Smitty, I definitely remember when the phones were getting REAL small. One of the last ones I worked was so small I could barely use the keypad, but it didn't launch in the US due to less than stellar GPS performance, and E911 requirement (one of the many rubs of phone design... you need physical volume for radiated performance).

Market demand drives design, not the other way around. When the mass market (not a few people on TWF) start picking phones with smaller displays and thicker housings, that's what will be available.

How much memory do you use per session and/or day?

I agree. I don't really want a bigger phone. But I looked at the 5 vs the 4 and they aren't that much different in size or thickness.

As far as Facetime, I can roll it on Sprint 3G but it can get choppy.

The 5 is thinner & lighter than the 4. Only thing bigger about it is the height.

[Trip]

Yeah and it's only one row of icons taller. It's very noticeably thinner and a ton lighter. I'd be scared I didn't have it all the time it's so scary light and thin.

I felt them side by side at Best Buy... didn't notice it that much...

After carrying the 4 around for the past couple years, the 5 feels noticeably lighter to me.
