First off, no, it hasn't bent at all. There, that's done.
This is the near perfect replacement, for me, for a phone and a tablet. Is it big? Yes, but it's also small. I look at it from the perspective of someone who, up until now, has done certain things on a phone (daily surfing, social media, photography, etc) and certain things on a tablet (reading books/comics, watching videos, playing games). This screen is easily large enough to do everything I've done on a tablet, while also being small enough to fit in my pocket. You'd think that the additional activity would be killing my battery, but I used the phone pretty intensively all day yesterday from 10am to 10pm and still had 50% of my battery left. The only issue I've had is that reading comics is a little tough, but Comixology's Guided View mode more or less negates that. I just can't read full page at a time. No big deal though. Using it paired with my Mac mini Plex server at home has worked flawlessly, enabled by my unlimited data plan (I love T-Mobile), and as more and more apps are properly optimized for the screen size, things just keep getting better and better. And as someone who actually used Google Wallet for NFC payments, I'm looking forward to Apple Pay rolling out later this month. Oh, and the camera? It's FANTASTIC. It's not going to replace my DSLR, or even my Canon G15, but for snapshots or times where I don't want to carry my cameras with me, it does a great job. I really do love it.
It should be noted that this is not my first "phablet". I had a Galaxy Note 3 that I liked a lot, but it just didn't work out as well, for some reason. Battery life was good, but not this good, and the overall experience just wasn't as good
