I am sure this is something that has come up before, but I am getting really bored with all new devices being quite so large. I have had a Lumia 800 since launch in the UK (Nov 2011), and sadly it broke a couple of weeks ago. I sent it in as it was still under warranty, but Nokia didn't have any 800s left, so offered me an 'upgrade' to a 900, and when I said I didn't like it due to the size, sent me a further upgrade to an 820.
This says two things: firstly, Nokia's customer care is incredible, and secondly, all phones seem to be getting enormous. When I got the 800, it was the flagship advice for Nokia, and had the same screen size as the iPhone. Now, the similar-ranged phone, the 820, is much taller, wider and heavier, and has a 4.3" screen that does very little when it comes to showing content any better (bigger screen with same ratio means less definition!).
As far as I understand it, large screen phones do sell, but they are not for everyone, as demonstrated by the success of the Android mini ranges. The form factor of the 800 is about as large as I am prepared to go, which is why I have actually sold the 820 and bought another 800 (even taking the hit from WP8 to WP7!). Please, Nokia, make some decent-specced devices that have a small form factor - we don't all want a mini laptop in our suit pockets.
