wow. I just read through this whole thread. obviously, there are lots of opinions about sizes of phones, and here's mine. I went from the LG voyager, to the HTC Eris, to the Thunderbolt (now rezound). when I Got my Tbolt, I assumed that 4.3 inch displays would be as far as they would go, and almost immediately after that, the Galaxy Nexus came out. 4.5 inch display. I figured, ok that's it, they'll stop growing now. of course, they have not. I have average sized hands, and the Rezound can be operated easily with one hand. however, I'm about getting as much bang for my buck as possible. I upgrade in July 2013, and I would love if they had the Note 2 in a 4.7 in display. (I know, that's the S3....) I'm a very mobile person, and i need a phone that can easily fit in my front pants pocket. I'm resigned to the Note 2, based on it's projected price in July ($199, maybe), and it's specs. Razr maxx HD would be PERFECT in my eyes if it had more RAM, so again, I'm resigned to the Note 2. The S3 would be a year old at that time, but I MAY still consider it, since the price would be lower than my budget price. but the N2 3300 mah battery says otherwise. I'd prefer larger than 4.3, but smaller than 5.5.
but that's just my opinion.
