Was anyone disappointed that the screen wasn't larger on the Iphone 4?

I'm going to upgrade from my iPhone 3G to the new iPhone 4 and I'm psyched. I'm looking forward to the awesome retina display, but I got to admit, I was a little bummed that the screen wasn't a little bigger.

I'm ok with it not being 4.3", but 3.7" would have been cool. I guess everything is a trade off because we probably wouldn't get the better battery life.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for the new phone. I just wish the screen would have been slightly larger. Anyone else feel that way?

No, the size is perfect for me. I don't need/want anything bigger for a phone.
 
As with the iPhone, Iphone 3G and 3GS...iPhone 4 doesn't take advantage of the devices front real estate. Bigger is definitely better as far as smart phones go and Apple could have increased the screens size without making the device bigger. We are basically going to be stuck with a screen the same size as the 2007 1 Gen iPhone, bad move by Apple IMO.
 
I guess it depends what everyone uses the phone for. I guess since i watch a lot of video on my phone, I was hoping for the bigger screen. I wonder if the new display can play YouTube HD vids.

That'd be sweet.
 
Not putting anyone down when I say this...

I think after a new product is released, it's easy to say "I wish it had this rather than this, or a better this." Truth is... there will never be a perfect device.

Granted, there are times that are worth a gripe or two.

A bigger screen? Not worthy. :)

Just my two cents.

I doubt that we will see Youtube HD on iPhone anytime soon. Currently that's Androids baby and I doubt Google will let another platform in on it.
 
No, honestly I think the iphone's screen size is the sweet spot between being thin enough to hold as a phone comfortabley and big enough to be useful as an internet surfing device :).

Though, if they had to change it, I'd be much less annoyed if it was bigger than smaller (I really don't think it should get any smaller. I think a little bigger and it wouldn't sacrifice size too much). Though I wouldn't be happy if it was as big as the EVO. Looked at that thing in person and it's just too big to be a good cellphone (cellphones should easily fit in places so you can easily take them everywhere you go).

Nope, present size is good. I already having a hard time to carry it. I'm glad they didn't increased the size. Besides, my iPad is a perfect size for viewing.
 
If they increased the screen, I would be considering buying it. I think the size and width fits well pockets.

I was playing around with the EVO, and it felt like a brick. The phone is far too large for my tastes.
 
Apple doesn't need to have such a large border around the phone , they could have easily updated the screen size a little. At least a 3.7 maybe a little bigger without adding size.

I was hoping for a slightly larger screen.
 
Not really. I like the size of the iPhone to be honest. Any bigger and it is getting a little TOO big for me as a cell phone.

Currently, it fits just fine.
 
nope, the current screen size is perfect for something that has to fit in my pocket everyday. Any larger and either aspect ratio gets screwed up or you're carrying a brick
