I personally love the iPhone 4/4S design, and I feel that a bigger screen would be too bulky to carry around in my pocket all the time. A phone should be portable, and when I look at those huge monster Android phones, it makes my pockets cringe. Anyone with me?
Got a tip for us?

Am I the only one happy with same size/design?

I'm happy with it as it's a beautiful phone. It wouldn't make sense for Apple to redesign their phone every year since they put so much R&D into their phones.
Also, I'm not a showoff person, so to blend in will be nice.

I was happy about the iPhone 4 design anyway. And since this will be my first iPhone, it's perfect.
I love the current design and I'm glad they kept it.
The ONLY thing I wanted, and I've said this on here before, is a faster processor to get rid of the choppiness. They've done it. Perfection!

What... you think we would have started trashing the current design? No.
I wouldn't want a huge screen. If it were slightly larger but I could still do a lot one-handed, I'd be cool with that. But I wouldn't be whining like someone stole my lollipop.
Not alone at all. I am perfectly happy with 3.7"...in fact if they can make the iPhone smaller using less bezel I would be even happier.
On a loosely related note, I think compact cameras have been stagnant for years since they are stuck with large 3"+ displays. I'd just like a smaller camera and even 2" is fine in an ultra-compact.

the 4s is not the same level of improvement over the 4 that the 3gs was over the 3g.
the i4 is a pretty good, fast phone.
that 3g (my first iPhone) was torture slow. good thing the 3gs came out soon after lol. I was ready to take that 3g to the range, set it up on the 100yd line and call it a sunk cost.

I love the iPhone 4 design. Way better than the tapered edges design the rumors were suggesting.
I'm fine with them keeping the same design. I just wish that they didn't keep the apparently fragile glass backing.
I'm also very happy with the current size, form, function, and feel. I want the iPhone to remain portable and retain the already excellent battery life. A bigger screen would not deliver on both accounts.
If I want a bigger screen, I'll use my iPad.
I totally agree with the OP...

I don't think you need to stay up to pre-order them. Besides Apple ordering 25 million of these 4S's, there won't be as big or as mad of a rush to get the 4S as there was with the 4.
Remember, most of the people buying the 4 were people upgrading from past iPhones, not new iPhones. At this point, it doesn't seem like many 4 users will be upgrading to 4S. Not as many as those who upgraded to 4 anyway.
There's still a lot of 3 Gen users that want to buy and the fact that the 4S is a CDMA/GSM hybrid means that there will be a lot of sales of the phone that will go overseas.
I love the iPhone 4 design as well. I would not have objected to a new design or bigger screen though. I love the spec increases and will definitely be grabbing one with my november upgrade.

I disagree. The 3G was super fast in relative terms to me when I first got it. It was also the first real smartphone I'd had though. I thought it was amazing and magical.
you may be right in some ways though because the iphone 4 does basically anything you could want a mobile phone to do. There isn't anything we are currently asking our phones to do that they can't handle...
