Yes, way too big! Most of the ones I see on offer are close to being a "phablets" (as much as I find that word ridiculous). I am sticking to my old HTC Incredible S, which already feels a bit too large, and even paid for a front glass replacement after I broke it, because I just can't find anything small enough on offer. Hopefully it will last me until this fad is over, and smartphones can be smartphones again. -- Andy
