why not just get an archos media player, it can do all that above. Larger screen also uses more battery, larger antenna uses more battery, and larger earpeice uses more battery. So longer battery life is not exactly going to happen. If your earpeice isnt aleady loud enough for you, then use speaker. When I mine to the max, i can hear it from 5 feet away, any louder and it would the same as a speaker. Ive never used my stylus once on the n900 and i have big hands anyways, we can improve every part of the phone if you wanted it big as a computer, but the whole point of a phone is to be mobile. If you need a phone that big, I would suggest just getting a media player/internet tablet on the side. but then again, its all about opinion. these days, everyone wants micro sized smartphones, which is why everyones making them so thin. Its what (most) people want. Personally, i would never buy a phone that big and im sure the majority agrees, which is why Nokia will likely not make it
