Would you buy a 5.3 inch Windows Phone (like the Galaxy Note?)

I think the bigger screens are being driven by the need for bigger batteries to feed LTE antennas more than anything else, the manufacturers are just doing a good job of "selling" it to consumers.

Probably not. I wouldn't say never but my 900 seems like the perfect size for me right now. Any bigger and it'd start being really bulky in my pocket, especially with a case.

That is way to big for a phone. I travel in a lot of bad places, so I want my phone hidden in my pocket and anything over 4"'s or so is way to big.

If the Kindle Fire was a phone I would buy it.

You would carry a 7" inch phone? Dom Joly would be proud.

I do not see my hands getting any bigger any time soon, but, I do see my eyes getting worse over time. So that is where a bigger screen would come in handy..Once eyesight goes bad.

Else anything really over 4.8 is too big and start's getting into the phablet area..

Or, similarly, a Windows 8 phone in that form factor? I have read rumors of Samsung and Nokia about a "hybrid device" and I am hoping that is what they are talking about. I am rocking a Samsung Focus right now, and used to have a Titan (screen shattered). That Titan gave me a taste of what I am really looking for, and I'm super attracted to the Galaxy Note and hoping that with Apollo we might get a device this size.

Four inches is fine.

I can barely get my fat *** into my designer skinny jeans. Absolutely, no room for a 5.3" phone.

I see a lot of small people (women, mostly... weird) using those (Galaxy Note) at the mall. They look ridiculous with those monsters to their ears, in my opinion.

It kind of makes me remember those times with the Nokia NGage and "taco talking" or something like that.

the note looks so grossly oversized. not for me. maybe 4.7-4.8 with almost no bezel at all is my sweetspot...

 

[doublebullout]

Absolutely not. 5+ inches is ridiculously large for a phone. Besides, I thought one of the benefits of the Metro interface and live tiles was that it would look great and be easy to use on smaller screens.

 

[Winterfang]

Absolutely, the Note is fantastic.

I think the whole idea of the Note is to use it with a bluetooth headset and not put it to your ear unless in a pinch.

Gimme a WP8 with Wacom digitizer and stylus support and I 'll be all over it. It's the ONLY thing I miss on my workphone

I wouldn't mind a large screen, large format phone. I'd like to see it with a stylus and options that could turn it into a portable small format tablet similar to how I used to use my PDA's
