@bradenslen iPhone SE. The true successor to the 5S, my favourite phone. Got lucky with a nicely maintained second-hand model.

@simonwoods the SE is a classic.

@simonwoods Have you seen rumours of a SE2 (or similar) coming out (early?) next year?

@crossingthethreshold I have, yep. In March apparently. Unfortunately I also read that it's very likely to be in the mold of the 8 and at the moment I'm not interested in another phablet.

@ChrisJWilson Agreed. This thing is so light, easy to hold, easy to manipulate, and damn does it look good.

@simonwoods @ChrisJWilson That's a shame. I have a friend who has a SE and I like it very much. I'll see what March brings.

@simonwoods Excellent! And it has a real home button wich I still prefer. Good find.

@thatguygriff Granted I'm switching back from Android but it was the flagship Google phone when I got it, but yeah I thoroughly endorse at least trying it for a short while. It's a good way to test just how comfortable you are with your regular small tasks.

@bradenslen It's flexible, lightweight, makes context switching possible let alone seamless. For me it's what a handheld super computer should be, or at least how best it fits into my life. With the big phones it feels like just another screen that is basically the same as my larger screens and now I'm surrounded by the constant demand to always be full-on computing... bleh, not for me thanks.

@crossingthethreshold Yeah, had the rumours been firm on the 4-inch display remaining then I would have held off. Don't want to risk it, though.
