It's big but not too big. My girlfriend has a htc sensation xl which has a 4.7" screen and it's really nice.
Got a tip for us?

The iPhone 5 might actually have some real competition from the Galaxy S III...

Incorrect. All top of the line Android phones have image stabilization. Here are SGSII specs:
CAMERA Primary 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, check quality
Features Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization
Video Yes, 1080p@30fps, check quality
Secondary Yes, 2 MP

To be fair, as far as I know, the size of the phone hasn't increased, only the screen size. This is made possible through ICS, which features virtual buttons so the previous space used for the hard buttons are now used as screen space. This is great when playing videos full screen, etc. Because it offers more real estate without any increase in size.

Funny how you can tell whose actually had experience with both phones. As those of us on here that own both, seem to have a completely opposite experience vs the random "my mothers best friends uncles sons niece has this phone and all the issues blah blah blah" post. If it is true, why not get it replaced? Afterall you want "simple"... pretty easy to go back to the store and get a replacement vs putting up with a phone that isn't working right.... right? B/c we all know Apple has never had an issue and nobody has ever taken their phone back for replacement
oh yeah my mother in law is really my my mothers best friends uncles sons niece. Nice work there.
Ok if you don't want to believe that glass and aluminium is a few grades above plastic that's fine. If you don't want to admit that fact that most non Apple products these days look exactly like Apple products that's fine too. Just don't try tell me otherwise lol.
"Might actually" eh? Simple Google search shows me:

2011: SAMSUNG'S IPHONE KILLER HAS ARRIVED
Look out Apple, the new Galaxy S II is finally coming to the United States with the bite to back up its bark.
For now the market is large enough to accomodate more than just one player.
HAHAHA all four major tier 1 and 2 carriers, the three biggest manufacturers, and they are all "iPhone killers". Android will continue to do well, but the iPhone isn't going to be killed by anything soon.
Apple will be on stage with the IPHONE 5 and will have to include some novel features to keep interest. A faster processor, larger screen and carbonate case simply is NOT enough. The game has really changed but have no fear Apple has the capabilities more than anyone else to be to keep our interest.
When Samsung finally learns how to make their touch screen & UI feel more smooth and natural, then I might consider picking one up. Until then I'm sticking with the iPhone because it's the only touch device to ever have the touch function feel so perfectly smooth and natural.
I really don't understand this spec war. All Apple users should worry about is does it run better than my previous device.
