It's kind of weird to offer a good/bad judgment on anyone's 'opinion'...or to say "I like this opinion". Just strikes me as an odd thing to say...
Well I was merely commenting on this members opinion and its meaning. So many upgrades/purchases in past years up to the last few months has always been based on hardware and software and what perks are under the hood.
Now you have members like the one I commented on that is pushing those concerns to the side as second choice and looking at device size as their main point of purchasing a device.
Its an interesting opinion, no matter what power and perks are in the device if certain consumers say the thing is too big in size they don't care what your going to package with it they will look elsewhere for a device that fits their ideal size.
My neighbor has the GNex.. I find it usable, but I do have to admit there is a lot of phone there in your hand. I can see where it would get a bit bulky at time... She had the TBolt previously and I thought that was a big brick but her GNex seems even bigger to me.That's one thing that worries me about the direction phones have been going in - it seems like to get a "good" phone nowadays, you have to look big, and I'm another one who feels that 4" is the sweet spot.
Now, that being said, I've been hands on briefly with a Galaxy Nexus - it didn't *feel* that big. *shrugs*
Its thin, I will give them that and the size does provide for more screen to play with but I do see where some say its just too much...
But now as newer devices are developed the magic number according to manufactures seems to be in the 4.3" plus range or bigger. Only time will tell in purchases and opinions if this was a smart move or bad.
