Is that a phablet in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?!

I tell you what if I had a smaller phone than my Note 2 I probably wouldn't have realised I'd been pick pocketed the other day. When it left my pocket I instantly felt a void. Got it back after a little scuffle.

Things with screens get bigger. Look at how much bigger TV screens have gotten over the years.
Yes bigger for home entertainment but I was referring to things you carry around.I think the trend in tablets is more from 10.1 to 7 inchers, on the portable computing side ultrabooks(13.3 inchers to 11 inch) are the in things etc etc.I know it's early days but I hear/read talk about smart watches,google glasses and so on and that leads me to my miniaturization point and this phablet phenomenon is the exact opposite.
I fully agree with you there, unless you put it down(on flat surface) and be doing a lot of video calling,but for a quick take out and answer/make a call it's just too big.

I'm alright with the Note2's size - even though it's a bit of a stretch when you're operating it with one hand.
If the hardware buttons were removed and that area was part of the screen it would be a perfect fit imo. Maximum viewing size, yet still comfortably operable with a single hand.

I highly doubt you could operate this phone with one hand at all, let along, comfortably.

Also, as far as comparing the Mega vs the Tab 2:
Battery:
Tab 2 ( Left ) -- VS -- Mega (Right) :
4000 mAh battery || 3200 mAh battery
Stand-by: Up to 1190 h (2G) / Up to 1080 h (3G) || Up to 420 h
Talk time: Up to 40 h (2G) / Up to 20 h (3G) || Up to 17 h (2G) / Up to 10 h (3G)
Half the battery life?
Sure, it's a thick vs thin bezzle... but damn!

The Mega is certainly not a one-hander. The Note2 is, though not for everyone as hand size varies ofcourse.
