"Well seems like YOUR opinion doesn't come with any facts."

I SAID it was my opinion, but hte fact is that the higest selling phones are Androids and the highest selling Androids are 4.3inch LCD's or higher. That is a fact. Most people
s opinion is that a larger screen is better in a phone.

"You are saying you would rather have a 32" 1200x768 PC screen than a 20" 1920x1080 screen with better color reproduction, uniformity, etc etc? "

No, not at all. You cant compare 32 inch screens to 4 inch screens. I am saying I would rather have a 4.8 inch 1280x720 screen than ANY 3.5 inch screen regardless of how high its res is. 1280x720 is way more than plenty at that size. Most people agree with me as most people are buying phones with larger screens. That is all I am saying... And size does matter, especially when somethng is as tny as 3.5 inches.

Most people are buyin larger phones because that's what is offered! If te ipjone5 had a 6" screen I'll admit I would buy it it's better than older an old tech device... High end android phones are only coming in larger screens it's like you have a choice unless you go cheaper. Offer the s3 exact specs but a 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5" flavorus and I guarantee you the majority of sales won't by the 5". But when you want the best of the best new phones and they only come in large sizes well of don't have a choice just like current iPhone users wanting a later screen. Most people don't want 5" phones but if that's alll that's being offered then there you go you buy it.
The size of re screen again doesn't make it better even if you prefer the larger screen the smaller screen in the 4s still has overall better quality than it's larger and same size cousins.
Also I wasn't comparing a 32" to a 4" I was comparing of to a 20" pc monitor which is something like 40% smaller but saying has a higher res and more realistic color reproduction, response time, etc. doesn't mean the 32" is better, just bigger.

You are clueless when it comes to phones. They are making those larger screen phones becasue that is what people are wanting. There are plenty smaller Androids out there, they dont sell like the big ones. People want it. I want it. I understand that you dont, but most people do. Thus the highest selling phones are 4.3 and up. Why is that so hard for you to accept? Its just a screen size preference, and you cant seem to accept that other people dont like what you like.

I'm not disagreeing with you that people don't want larger phones and that it's a matter of opinion which if you read my responses would have understood. If I was to buy an android phone today it would definitely be a larger sized screen but not out of choice but because I would choose between the top 2-3 models out and by "top" I mean new, powerful, and obviously expensive.... But these phones don't come in smaller screen sizes. Will the S3 release at different screen sizes while retaining the same hardware specs? NO! And that was my point. The android world has decided that flagship phones need to come with huge screens. Whether that's because consumers actually want the larger screen, or their attempt to fit the chosen hardware and a larger battery into it, there is still no choice.
Then the iphone5 comes out I'll have it because it's the newest hardware and screen size won't change my purchase since staying with old tech for the sake of screen size isn't worth it.
