"the current iPhones screen is not only better than the s2 but better than any other phone currently offered in the US"

I dont know what your talking about. You coulnt be more wrong in my opinion. To me the screen is the iPhone 4s's weakest link. Its simply too small. the res is great, but a 4.6 - 4.8 inch screen with 1280x720 res like we have in the Nexus, One X and S3 totally smoke it. Size matters, thus the reason even Apple is going larger with it's next phone.

I don't know how big your pockets are, but I'm perfectly fine with <4" screens. In fact, I was intrigued by the Veer when I saw it that one month it was in stores... I'd consider a 3" flagship equally with a 4", and definitely over a 4.5"+.

I'm sure there are uses for 5" phones, but I doubt most people want to put a phone half the size of their face up to their face. Or have that big an expanse of glass to crack when they sit down/bump into something.

I still feel that the biggest reason these gigantic phones are out there now is to provide room for a bigger battery. A 25% larger screen (by area) with the same SoC means power draw has increased by less than 25%, but it also means they can increase the size of the battery ~30% or so...

True, its totally a matter of preference, but I have had a 4.65 inch nexus in my pocket and it's fine. It didnt do anything but make me want it.

Its not like a niche market. The highest selling phones in the past year are Android by a large margin, and the vast majority of Android's are 4.3 inches with the latest 4.6 to 4.8 inchers selling like crazy. 9 million pre-orders for the Galaxy S3 alone and believe me the biggest selling point on these latest super phones are the screens.

Well seems like YOUR opinion doesn't come with any facts. Also if you reread my post you'll see that I never once mentioned screen size other than to mention the new Lg phone coming out because for my argument SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!!!!! Size is a matter of OPINION and opinion you chose to share but in no way proves that the s2 screen is better than then 4s screen. Regardless of whether someone thinks the 4s screen is too small or too big it's still of better overall quality.
In MY opinion 3.5" is a great size screen for a phone! I'm not trying to carry a netbook or tablet in my pocket let alone hold one up against my ear.
You are saying you would rather have a 32" 1200x768 PC screen than a 20" 1920x1080 screen with better color reproduction, uniformity, etc etc? Maybe if you plan to just stream Netflix (even then I would prefer the 20") but definitely when it comes to gaming/graphics etc.
Size doesn't mean quality, period.
