Given the choice of a 25 inch monitor or a tiny phone screen. It's PC for me every time when it comes to serious tasks.  

What on earth's a "serious" task?

I'll be in Sicily next week, doing some "serious" stuff (spending money etc) but I'll pass on carting a keyboard, mouse & widescreen monitor with me.

Almost all of the banking apps that I use are optimised for a phone screen - amazing, eh? - and doing "stuff", even "serious" stuff really isn't difficult. 

Anything that involves a spreadsheet.
All my financial monitoring is done on computer with either excel or MS money. I haven't yet seen a phone option that comes close in functionality.

Do you use Excel/Money instead of online banking web portals, or instead of mobile banking apps?

No. It's an additional analysis I do 
I use mobile apps, but in terms of bringing everything together, with various projections, future cashflow etc, its not possible on a phone

I use Excel too, but that's hardly relevant to a discussion of the relative merits of online banking portals vs mobile apps...

I'm guessing the 'serious tasks' was also something beyond online / app banking
