[Q] BIG phones; Are the 80's coming back?

Anyone out there know if our devices will reach the mass they had in the 80's? It seems every new phone with nice specs is BIG. I may have to go without the dual processors and front face cam and stick with the reasonably sized DInc.
this is not a joke. I really am wondering. 4" + screens are nice but...

What kind of devices, from 80th you say? What features were those devices? Then correct to compare the modern devices to computers 80th, but not phones.

I wish that could happen but don´t think so....
I remember the great dimensions of the great HTC Universal!

Cellphone for elderly, shaky hands?

I need to get an inexpensive cellphone for my Mom. She's elderly and has Parkinsons Disease, so her hands shake a lot.
Are there any good cellphones with large buttons that are extremely simple to use?

Google Search

I'm guessing something strong too
I remember Verizon used to sell an indestructible phone that was waterproof and hard to break

Just to update the thread, I bought a Dell Streak 5 with the 5" screen.
But somehow broke it.
Now I bought a Samsung Infuse with the 4.5" screen. Time to ROM & Roll!

Yes I also agree the Big Launcher will be fine. If you are looking for simplicity and easy to use. Have a look at John's Phone (https://www.johnsphones.com/ww/en/)
The price seems to be not too bad and it has many designs to choose from.

The one of the far right is an LG Neon / LG GT365

Currently i am not able to remember clearly.

[Q] Kind of paint to use on Nexus 5?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any knowleadgeable painting artists in the vicinity?
I saw a white Nexus 5's X painted with the Nexus colors and I really liked it. My N5 is black, but I guess it would be as awesome. Anyhoo, what kind of paint should I use on that kind of rubber? It has to be resistant to friction as I don't have [yet] a cover case.
Thanks a lot!

I think "debrand" or "xgear" is the thing u r searching for.
That's a kind of skin for ur phone.
Just check the Nexus Accessoires section or Google it, to get more information.

I think I've badly explained what I wanted to achive. I'd like to paint only the 4 carved lines forming the X on the back of the N5. You know, like this:
