Who's getting a new phone in 2016?
-
My contract is up for renewal this March, so I'll be getting new iPhone then. Wife will get 6S or 6S plus, I'm hoping Apple releases 6C by then. I hate big screen phones.

I'm surprised how much I disliked big screen phones before I had one and how dependent I am on it now. Coworker had a 4inch iPhone that I got my hands on yesterday and felt like I was in the stone age.

My beef with big screens is that it's too big for my pockets, and too big to use with one hand. Big screens are perfect for ladies carrying the phone in a purse, I'm a pocket guy.

Get pants with bigger pockets.
-- or use a Belt clip. I started out with my first cell phone being a belt clip phone (Motorola StarTac), and have since gone either way. I like belt clips right now. -

lol - yeah I'm in the same boat.
I had a Galaxy S4, friend bought the Note1 - I made fun of him.Today I have the 640XL and am considering the 950XL Lumia.

I had a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy Note 2. It never seemed to big for a pocket or for my hands... to be fair I'm a bigger person so that may have something to do with it.

yeah I too wore a StarTac with a belt clip! Though my Lumia 640XL does fit in my pocket, so no phone holster right now. -

I have no idea how a billion 4 foot Asians in skinny jeans carry 6 inch phones. Even crazier how people are going to use the new iPad.

I loved my Scottevest hoodie, wore it through most of college. You could stuff a water bottle, tablet, smartphone, keys, and about 20 other things in those pockets and still looks like you were carrying nothing at all.

LOL - unless it's magic, there's no way to hide that you have a water bottle, unless the jacket is SUPER loose.

Same here. Why aren't these things in James Bond or Mission Impossible movies?!

It did a really good job at it. The pockets are designed to hide a medium sized water bottle. It was also super comfy even when you were loaded down with stuff. One of the best features was being able to hide your earbuds in the hood. Made many a networking/sys admin classes go faster.
I wore it at gaming conventions too. Man I could stuff more swag in that hoodie then I could in the small backpack I brought the first year. Granted I was a little bulky after that but never did it get uncomfortable or heavy.

Would you rather have all that stuff in a vest/hoodie or be forced to carry a man-purse? Mine vest currently has 3 sets of keys, utility knife, 10,000mah battery pack, Nexus5, 10" tablet+keyboard, 2 usb chargers and cords, mints, daily med case, 2 pen size screwdrivers, 3 pairs of reading glasses, headphones, this weeks pay stub, and my business cards. I THINK that's it, but I could easily be forgetting things.

Hoodie for sure, it was so much easier to carry around then a laptop bag (when I wasn't using the laptop). The quality on them is fantastic as well. I really should look into getting another one.

I'm not discounting the usability of this clothing/jackets. Only that you can "hide" a water bottle in this jacket. It's shape prevents it's stealthiness.
And damn, how much heavier is your jacket with all that stuff in it? The battery pack alone is around a pound, maybe more.

I'll try to remember to take a picture of my man-purse later.

@Dashrender I haven't weighed it, but I'd guess ~15 to 20 lb. You can tell that things are in the vest, but you'd never guess how much or what.
Edit: Yes, requires sturdy shoulders.
