New Lumias Too Big?

[baseballbert]

The phone looks really cool, and wp8 will be great. Although at 4.6-8" on the screen, I'm not too thrilled about the size.

That's one of the things I like about my 4S, the size. My 900 is great but is on the border of also being too big.

Too bad the 800 isn't getting a facelift for wp8, that would be the perfect size for me.

Nah, I think that will be a great size, if anything my L900, is almost too small. Really could be I have big hands, so I just prefer a phone, that won't be so small in my hands. Good thing, is it does seem to have 3 different sizes so far, I'm sure more will come afterwards.

The L900 is about the max for me. Not looking for a new phone till the Spring though so I am sure there will be plenty of choices.

Screen size is fine as long as it's the same body size as the Lumia 900. I believe the Titan II is the same dimensions as the Lumia 900 roughly, but sports a ginormous screen.

I want a 4" phone. The L900 is a bit too large for me. a L800-esque 4" phone would be perfect

The Pureview 808 is a 4" phone. I would be fine with them recycling the that design with a higher rez screen and an S4 SoC.

It will great addition to Lumia line up. Had HTC titan and it was perfect on my hands.

Bigger is better in my book.

I like the rumored Lumias.

The Galaxy S III is 4.8 and its only a bit bigger than the 900. If it was a G Note, then it's be a little too big. If it passes 5 that's too much for me.

For my hand, 4.3" is perfect as I can fully use the phone with one hand.

If size goes up, then it's just not comfortable to single-handedly use the phone for me. (proven as I tried the S3).

They need to make a 4.7-nish to match the competition. But I hope they will make a 4.1-nish as well

The trend in devices are bigger touch screens. People are moving away from wanting smaller screens or even physical qwerty keyboards because they want big screens for multimedia uses. Nokia has to offer a 4.7"-5.0" WP to get consumers, especially here in the US, interested.

I am sure there will be some great Nokia 4.0" devices or smaller. Nokia is every bit the hardware maker in the Samsung mold. Get as many different form factors and screen sizes out to appeal to as large of a crowd as they can. Just give them some time. I could see a new WP Nokia every month once they start cranking out WP8.

I was surprised by how small, light, and pocketable the Galaxy S III was. I went into it feeling as though it would be too big for me, but it was the best Android offering Verizon had so I gave it a shot. I ended up returning it because I hated TouchWiz but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a similar sized phone in the future, although my sweet spot is about a 4.3" screen size.

Exactly I want a smaller phone, 4" is perfect. If the new ones are 4.6 and 4.8 that will be a deal-breaker for me. Not all of us have huge hands and I want something that fits a bit easier in my shirt pocket.

Just wait and see how they all fit in your hand! Prejudge not!

I have the same thought. The 900 felt huge switching from iPhone4, and to be honest its still a little awkward. I kept my iphone around for an app i use for the gym, and I will say that typing on that little bastard really grinds my gears. The size of the button on 900 make it way easier.

I like the size of the Lumia 900, but must admit, it's on the edge of being too large. I have the seidio case and have started to look for a new case that doesn't add so much bulk to the phone.

Nokia should definite look long and hard at the 4.3" size. Allows for 720p while still being pocketable, especially if the bezel is reduced (keep in mind that the Lumia 900 is large for a 4.3" device).
