It there a bunch of small Asian men on this forum or what? The phone is larger than what's out there, but a 4.3" phone fits easily in my hands or in my pocket.

What can I say? People on this forum all have tiny girl hands and wear skinny jeans.

Im 6'1" and I think its too big. Not everyone wants a gigantic phone. 4" would be my threshold. And it has to be thin. There was a reason why the motorola RAZR was so popular not too long ago.

I think the only way I'd go with a 4.5" phone is if its as thin as the Infuse.

hell, i thought 4.3" would be huge, but it fits perfectly in my hand. i also know a few women that have gotten the droidX and love the size of it. only one keeps it in her purse. my mom keeps her thunderbolt in her purse tho. or in a case thats attached to her harley gas tank.

Thanks for posting the relative comparison. In reality, holding my Droid X2 in my left hand and my pre-release Droid Bionic in my right, I can hardly tell the difference in size or weight.

Heh... I'm not sure if you would consider that to be a really big Android smartphone, or a really small Android tablet that just happens to have phone capabilities.

Either way, it would be too damn big to comfortably hold and use the keyboard with one hand unless you were a giant. Even the Droid X is bit too large as it is.

That's what Swype and other word-tracing keyboards are for, superior one-handed typing.

I also think the Droid X was the best phone I've ever used, in that it was the best combination of size, screen space, and weight that I've yet seen.
