We are saying if people want to stick to iOS which a lot of people do they have no options as many iOS users feel android is "complicated" until apple puts up multiple screen sizes of the same phone you will never know what that market would choose as you can't just say oh it fact because they could switch android if they wanted bigger screens to many its not just about the screen size to many until a large part of the ANDROID market begs for smaller screens with high specs it probably won't happen

A lot of people stick with iOS due to ecosystem lockin. Since a majority of Android users barely pay for apps they can use almost whatever OS they choose. iOS users are not so fickle, and neither are Windows Phone users since Microsoft's ecosystem is set up similarly to Android (and has always been that way).
However, a lot of people I know simply won't touch an Android phone due to how big the high end phones are. These are people that barely use their phones for much more than Texting and the occassional browsing, but they won't touch it cause they don't like having to stuff anything that big into their jeans and don't like feeling like they're going to drop their phone whenever they pick it up.
The Galaxy S2/Skyrocket wasn't spec equivalent with something like the Rezound in the US. The Rezound was a better phone with a better screen and for most people the SoC difference (granted only two variants in the US used Exynos, whose benchmarks were padded by that low WVGA screen resolution while most S3/OMAP/Tegra II devices were pushing qHD displays and moving on to 720p back then) didn't matter at all.
As for the Infuse and GS2.
What you're saying is intellectually dishonest in that the Infuse was flying off the Shelves for the same reason the Vivids are flying off the Shelves at AT&T right now (yes, they are selling a lot of them, I could barely find one when I got mine). It's was released 7-8 months before the AT&T GS2, and 10-11 months before the Skyrocket/Vivid/Nitro HD. By the time those phones came out the Infuse cost half as much as they did. People will buy cheap phones because they can't afford a bigger phone. They have other bills to pay. Saving $100-150 on the subsidy matters, and anyone who bought an Infuse over a GS2, Skyrocket, Atrix 4G, Atrix 2, Vivid, or Nitro HD probably didn't even care about specs so that's a bit of a non-factor discussion to have.
On the flip side, the iPhone 4 8GB and iPhone 3GS 8GB were both easily outselling the Infuse on AT&T, independently, even with lower comparative specs and puny screens by comparison. The 3GS only has HVGA resolution, even, with a camera that wasn't good at all by then.
Informed users avoided the later TW3.0 devices because that skin was the buggiest thing I've ever seen, and informed users were skeptical of Samsung at that timeframe due to the GS being the buggiest flagship smartphone to ship, ever, and the constant update debacles.
