----- Well *you* can define it however you wish but every majors review site is calling it a phablet.

If only because Samsung mistakenly coopted the term for a >tablet< of theirs....

Sorry, but you appear to be saying that you get to decide what Samsung calls its products...

no, but I do get to >reject< them as phablets....

No, Fanboy. You don't.

Actually, I do. It's *my* money and I can vote against them and reject them as phablets by not spending it on one of your tablet phones....

No, Fanboy: you don't get to define what terms in common usage mean.

You not BUYING something is not rejecting them AS phablets.

I get to tell the salesman trying to sell me one as a phablet that it is not a true phablet as far as I'm concerned, and then walk with my wallet.

You surely do...

...but that doesn't mean it isn't a phablet.

Face it, you backed yourself right into a corner. You argued that all phablets can fit in pants pockets and them you realized you'd fucked up and used precisely what the "no true Scotsman" fallacy talks about.
