Can't handle small screen phones!

I am in a dilemma here, currently using a 930 that I find really uncomfortable to hold, had no such problems with my 920 which is an almost identical peripheral size to the 930 but edge thickness is wider on the 930, my 820 is also perfectly comfortable to hold but like others have said 5 inch screen really is a minimum and even better is about 5.5 to 5.7 the 6 that the 1520 has is a whole different world in terms of looks.
My real problem is that my hands get quite painful, hard to know what the cause is, age? or perhaps Dupuytren's contracture which I suffer from, at the moment using anti-inflammatory to ameliorate this, were it not for this a 950XL or 1520 would be in my repertoire. Bigger is better!

Once you have had bigger you cant go back, that just applies to most every thing.

I have been rockin' my Lumia 1320 for a couple of years and I love large screen cells! No one ever mentions the 1320 and how reliable it works? It's a low key great phone for me. Everybody always talking about specs? Long live Nokia Lumia 1320!:smile:

I absolutely loved my 1320. It is a really good phone.

The wife's brother used a 4S for years...
He thought my 925 was a giant Samsung when he first noticed it.

His kids shamed him into jumping to the 6s+ eventually.

My husband used his until he finally upgraded a few weeks ago, its still sitting here on my desk, need to take it over to the womans shelter to donate. :)

Whoa, the size difference between the two must be huge. I can't even imagine it.

I remember when I bought my 920. My iPhone friends scoffed and said it was gigantic. My how times change.

The sweet spot for screen size for me is the 4.8-5.2 range. I seriously considered (and still am considering) the Xperia Compact line for this reason. That said, I'd consider a 5.5" screen as long as I liked everything else about the device.

Yeah that line is nice for battery life and the size. Haha, it is funny to think about.

Pah! I remember when I got my Nokia E63 with it's paltry 2 inch 320 x 240 screen I thought that was pretty roomy compared to my previous phones.

The screen on my Lumia 640 is the equivalent of a home theater in comparison :grin:

Man, I used by E63 right up until buying my 920 in Nov. 2012. I loved the E63.

So did I. But the writing was soon on the wall for Symbian, so it was time to move on. It was either Android or Windows Phone. The Nokia 521 came out at an opportune moment so like many I thought this would be the perfect time to try out Windows Phone. The camera was a definite improvement on the E63, that's for sure! I still miss that keyboard though lol
