Bigger is always better when it comes to displays, whether it is on a phone, or a television
I have long fingers so I find it very comfortable. You must have small hands
You can maybe get the Galaxy S3 Mini when it comes out..that one is smaller

Complaints, Complaints, Complaints. I can't say anything if people have problems with their software, but if you don't like something that is part of the physical build why did you buy it in the first place? There are display models available virtually in all Carrier Stores for you to try out before you purchase the phone.

I have fairly small hands for a male, and I can still comfortably use a the S3's 4.8" screen with one hand/thumb. There are different consequences to screen sizes.

Big screens decrease mobility in some ways, while they provide more space for (better/bigger) components (battery, screen, memory chips)
Small screens increase mobility (compact,lightness), but they have much less space for components.

4.8" with 1280 x 720 is ~306 PPI/ 4.3" with 1280 x 720 is ~342 PPI
Big difference?
..................

Now, what kind of case are you using? Is it a thick case like a defender? Because that would definitely make it harder to use the phone with one hand.

On a positive note look at it this way. 1080p screens are slowly getting planned/released for 5" phones. A 1080P screen on a 5" screen has a PPI of ~448. Maybe they will give the 4.3" and smaller screens better screens from now on. 1366 x 768 on a 4" is ~392 PPI, so it should be much more possible for a 4.3"

I wish the mods would regulate on threads like this.

Do we really need ANOTHER 'Your phone sucks cause....' thread on this board? I come here to discuss enthusiasm for this device, I shouldn't have to weed through threads to accomplish that.

Do you really want us to decide whether or not what you think is relevant? Trust me, you all would not like these forums if I were to delete every thread that didn't suit me.

If it breaks the rules, report it.
If it's not a subject you want to discuss, feel free not to discuss it.

I have kinda small hands for a guy (and no, that's not indicative of what you think, haha) and the phone-size is perfect to me. I don't think I can ever go smaller again.

fair enough man.
as i said im all for freedom to post and democracy by replying decides if a thread stays or not.
i still think "ios-s3" and "rim-s3" stickies would be helpful to everyone though

p.s, i bet you HATE the "chit chat" thread mate

I agree bigger is better for phones...to a certain degree. Movies, games, web browsing is so much better on a bigger phone. When ....my.....comfort and convenience starts to get questioned by me, then its not. I tried a GS3 in Staples...and I feel its just a wee bit too big to really pushing the max size for phones.

So.....yall know I will not be trying the Note or Note 2...lol. I plan on staying in the 4.3" screen/phone size.

So, the main thing is ....it depends on the individual and how you use your phone. I rarely use my phone one handed so that was never factored in.

If you have smaller hands I can see why a phone like the S3 would be hard to use with a single hand. But if a person has said hands why would you get a big phone to begin with? I use the S3 with a single hand with ease.
