Plus, you could choose a non-subsidized phone without an ad if it really annoys you.

A smaller screen doesn't suddenly get larger when you start an application. You also cant make it bigger by paying the full price.

So what's the point you're trying to make?
I am sort of repeating myself, but that is one of the funny things about this remarkable thread. Those of us who support the current screen size are in a way just repeating the things we have been saying for years -- one of the wonderful things about the Nokia tablets is the screen size.

But suddenly a bunch of people are jumping in and saying that this is bs, screen size is not important, reading on a tablet is not important, these are just niche items. And THEY are claiming to support Nokia now.

In some ways, these esteemed people are talking like they have conferenced and developed talking points to use against the supporters of the Nokia Internet Tablet as we knew it. It's kind of like political threads, in which people use pre-rehearsed arguments, obviously having learned the technique from Communist Party propaganda techniques back in the 1950s, even if they weren't around then.

Those of us who have supported Nokia here also have our talking points too, because we have been arguing for the Nokia Internet Tablet for years. But it's strange that there are so many of these aliens now.

(Disclaimer: I have nothing against aliens. It's those antennae that I find disconcerting.)
