Have you decided on a size yet?

I thought I wasn't going to be able to decide. Then I printed out the cut outs and am going with the 6. I feel like the plus will be too big for my pockets and will be uncomfortable to sit with it in my back pocket. I also have a retina iPad mini and I don't want to feel like I'm carrying around 2 iPads. Haha.
I'm still so torn! I was originally set on the Plus, because I saw an LG G3 in an AT&T store and it wasn't as big as I thought. But based on one photo I saw of someone holding the Plus, it looked huge in their hand.
I also don't know if I want Space Gray or White/Silver.

LOL, Bigger screen yes. More PPI, sure but you won't be able to notice it. Experts will tell you that the eye can't discern anything greater than 300 PPI so it won't hardly be noticeable. The 6 Plus has a larger battery because it needs more juice to power up that screen. I'm guessing it may be marginally better but not by a much. OIS is nice but the iPhone has not suffered without it in the past.
Hmm, I've been flip-flopping today between the two but I've just checked my monthly phone statements, and the past 6 months I've used less than 30 minutes in total. That doesn't include one or two FaceTime Audio calls, but still, I've realised that I rarely use my phone... As a phone.
Just wish it would fit in my shorts properly. Jeans and suit it's fine.
I don't think people are considering 'carrying' the thing. I don't think it's a matter of holding it in hand - it's a matter of where the heck you're going to put it.
I'm wearing an old pair of Levis right now and the cardboard cutout in my rear pocket sticks up at least an inch and forget sitting down. People thinking they're going to have it in their front pocket - um... I can't fathom.
I'm a female and tend to not carry a purse for the most part. What about grabbing your phone to walk the dog, or if you want a phone with you while doing yard work? I don't see how the 6+ is going to work on a daily real life basis. I want it to though!!

So - to the people getting the 6+ - how will you carry it? You run out of beer and hit the grocery/liquor store... You grab the phone - where do you put it?

My dad has a Galaxy Mega 6.3, so I printed out the template of the 6+ and the 6+ is about a third of an inch shorter and about half an inch narrower, overall I'm now more torn because my hands can navigate the Mega pretty well, so I imagine having the 6+ would be even easier but its still a huge step up from the 5s
I received my 4.7 and 5.5 cases from Amazon yesterday and I decided on the 4.7. 5.5 is too big for me to carry around. It doesn't fit into my pockets very nicely and creates a giant flat spot and sticks out when I do put it in my pocket.
I probably won't decide tI'll an hour before an Apple Store employee comes to the line and asks.
iPhone 6 for me, torn between 128 and 64GB. I currently have a 64 and in the past Ive always gone for more capacity as that equals more better. It would also allow me to put my full library on at 256kbps, rather than 192 as they currently are.
I will probably end up splashing out for the shiniest one, because I am terrible like that.

These comparisons might help..

I planned on the 4.7, then wavered, and then studied my phone use for a day and noticed that I walk around holding the phone in one hand a lot at home (because my job requires me to be accessible 24/7), and, at only 5'6" with small hands, I feel like the 5.5 will be just enough more unwieldy that I'll not want to do that.
