I have a Galaxy Tab 2.0 (7"), but it's a tablet along the iPad line, not a phone. The Galaxy Tab 1.0 did have a phone built in, but the phone function was dropped in the 2.0 version and is simply a wi-fi tablet -- what I was looking for for traveling instead of a smartphone. (I still have a dumbphone!)

My understanding is that most of the Galaxy Android phones are no larger than iPhones (or not significantly so). I'm a frugal sort so have never embraced Apple products simply for pricing/value reasons. I could care less what is sexy or popular; I just want something that works.
