For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

Phones are for talking, navigating, and casual content consumption. Desktops (and laptops) are for actually getting things done. Both are useful, but the former is not a substitute for the latter.

Tablets are oversized phones that can't even phone. I don't see any use for them that isn't better served by something else. They'd actually be useful if they ran a desktop operating system, and some early ones did, but modern ones don't.

What about when I want a larger screen than what my phone offers without the added bulk of a physical keyboard? What should I use then?

Funny you should say that. I would very much like a phone that has a physical keyboard, like my old Droid 3 had.
