    The visable screen is 100mm x 50mm
    I've dropped it a few times, still working .

    Got mine as a payasyougo tesco then had it unlocked to work on a French sim
     
  2. 100mm, 4'' is smaller that the current one,

    i think 5.59 '' is a touch too big tbh ..:confused:

    I just buy whatever Samsung Galaxy is on eBay for about £100 with a battery and a guarantee and use that on a £16 pay monthly O2 SIM-only contract . And invest in a solid plastic case for it so when I drop it it does not break.

    I like nearer 4" screen diagonal not bigger at the moment.
    So far a Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy S3.

    Both Apple and Samsung want too much money for new phones - about $950 for the top of the range S7 and iPhone6S , which you pay in monthly installments on any contract over £10 a month.

    The Galaxy S7 costs as much per month as the first Vodaphone I ever saw at £69 a month back in the 1990's , but the phone calls are half the price at 35p a minute (once you use your free allowance) instead of 69p a minute back in the 90's.


    But they are all a lot smaller than the first GSM demonstrator phone I saw in the 1980's which took the place of the front passenger seat in a Jaguar. It killed the car battery when it was on but it did not work when the engine was running because of the interference. I talked on it to somebody on the south bank of the Thames from beside the IEE at Savoy Place on the Embankment.
     
  4. I remember ,when we all wanted phones to be smaller..:rolleyes:

    That because they were the size and weight of a concrete block.

    I have to say I'm loving this phone I just talked to her to print all this crap and for you to read what could be better?
    By the way I said it not her.

    I thought I'd have to type all the crap on a stupid little keyboard on the screen to find out I can just talk to it like an idiot even like half matisa missing and it just comes out fine and is quite amazing even after a couple of Scottish whiskys.

    It's thanks to programmes like that I don't believe all the bad press about Americans.
