Apparently a 5.3-inch smartphone isn’t too big, and having stylus to go
with it doesn’t mean it’s a failure: Samsung announced 5 million sales
of its Galaxy Note in a blog post on Wednesday. Previously, the company
has reported device shipments, but Samsung specifically means actual
end-user sales, making the oversized phone — or undersized tablet — just
the right size for success.
I suspect that because of the size and stylus, the Note can’t be properly evaluated in a short hands-on session. I tried to do just that and came away with mixed feelings: Nice hardware, but an odd-feeling size in the hand; likely because there have been so few devices in this size range. But if the handset can replace both a phone and tablet while still being highly portable, that’s a plus. Clearly, 5 million people think so.
