Back to the main point of the thread: if they can make the screen larger but keep the same physical dimensions of the phone itself, then I'm on board. If they have to make it wider and harder to confidently hold and operate with one hand, then I have no interest in it. Even my old 4.3" Galaxy SII was noticeably more difficult to operate one-handed than the iPhone.
By the way, spare me the "hurr durr, you must have tiny hands!" comments. It makes you look like a moron.
I have an uncle with either a GS3 or 4 (I forget), and I must admit that the screen is nice to look at because of its size. However the larger physical size is annoying to deal when I have to use it as a phone (or anything that requires one handed operation) day in and day out.
If they can make a larger screen option that keeps the same width, I'm all for it. Heck, if they offer an additional option of an even larger version for the all-in-one phablet crowd, all the better. I have an iPad if I need a larger screen, so portability and one-handed use are more important to me. If given two options next year, I'll probably actually go with the smaller version for the reasons above.
