HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.

Why do you name something with 5'' screen a phone?
If I was able to make calls with my TV it would also be a phone?
Be serious pls, anything over 4''-4,3'' cannot be called phone, minimun tablet or even netbook with phone capabilities...
@Kohai
Cos what it's called is technically the most important feature.
"Hey Jim, look what I bought, it's my new netbook with phone capabilities"
@suicidebob
But if have to take it out of a backpack it will sound strange ;-)
What I mean is that these are becoming "another thing" they are not phones anymore.
Also I don´t think that the phone capabilitie is it´s most important feature.
I presume that people who buys this phone will, almost for sure, have another "real" phone for making calls. I´m seen this right now.
@Kohai
I agree. 5" = NOT A PHONE. It doesn't even look like a phone.
If someone wants a qwerty phone, better wait for the Samsung Galaxy S Pro which Samsung confirmed is in the works.

Isn't this what the idea of "Smart Phones" were to be? Simply a netbook with phone capabilities.
@Tentcityanthem
I don´t think so.
The "phone" part in smartphone as I understand implies some kind of portability and usability (one hand use).
You can have a smartphone with dimensions within "pocketability".
This BIG screens I think are more orientated to web surfing or productivity apps rather than for being connected to mail or making calls.
