Maybe what you need isn’t a bigger phone, but a more personal, personal assistant. Cortana, on the Lumia 830, does more than Siri. Like alert you to leave early for an appointment using traffic alerts. Cortana can even remind you of things based on who calls or texts.

"Microsoft believes that unless your digital assistant can tell you to leave early because of traffic problems she's no use at all.
Indeed, the company has just released an ad in which its digital assistant, Her Highness Cortana, suggests to Apple's little Siri that all Siri's done since Apple released two iPhone 6s is get bigger.
No woman should say that to another, you might think.
But Cortana believes that if an assistant can't give reminders based on the calls or texts that have come in, then she's not worthy of the name "assistant."
This is merely the latest in a series of ads in which Microsoft has looked down upon Siri like an ugly sister looks down upon Cinderella."
