Your and my needs are probably quite different. I mostly need a mobile phone just to be a phone with email access. I will use it as a camera, and a few apps for navigation etc, but not much more. I leave web surfing to my iPad mini, which stays at home and accesses the web on my secure wifi connection. In fact, I'm typing this message on it right now.

You are pretty far off in your assessment. I need a phone that works as a phone with texting capabilities and email. The other stuff like browsing, I don't do much of that. Hardly ever get on the forums with it. 90% communication use, the rest is casual stuff on the rare occasion. I do use a few apps for work like Lexi-Comp, Micromedex, etc. but I don't count that use as it is my choice to use those vs. the internet at work or paperback references.

Would be nice to have the larger screen for email, attachments, viewing documents and photos, etc. I also plan on using the camera quite a bit more on the new one, not that the 5S has a bad camera at all. I considered the SE honestly, but ultimately decided that since it was the same size as the 5S, it would be a lateral move and not worth it.

Sitting up here at Whistler, going XC riding (private guided tour) on Saturday and DH on Monday. Looking at the mountain, thinking I am getting "old" and feeling a bit intimidated!
But, other than Europe, I have never seen so many bikes in one place. And, I have never seen so many DH bikes in one place, ever!
