Question of the Day: How Much Does Screen Size Matter?


Yes, does size matter is an age old question?  However, what I am interested in is smartphone screen size.  I upgraded from a Palm Centro with its 2.25 inch screen to an HTC Incredible with a 3.75 inch screen.  I was simply overjoyed, and the screen just felt gigantic.  Then I saw the HTC EVO 4G and the Droid X with their 4.3 inch screens, and I was definitely a bit envious.  One of my friends at work remarked it would be too big to simply slide in your pocket.  Then I started to wonder when does screen size start to become a hassle due to the issues with carrying the phone around. 

When do we get to mini-tablets?  I still love the bigger screen, but what would be your limit?  Are we there now?  What about 5 inches?

screen size matters but not when you are comparing samsung galaxy to iphone to evo, if about 4 inches it does not make a big difference.
For me it was a big difference going from htc fuze at 2.8 to samsung captivate at 3.7(I think) but really main difference was the operating system and the responsiveness of the screen.
It would be nice if they made the captivate shorter by removing the part that says AT&T :)
