I've increased phone size with every upgrade the last 3-4 times. My latest phone is a 5.5", and I might very well go for a 6" next time. The thing is I rarely use my phone for calls, and the 5"-6" range with a full hd display compares sufficiently well to a "public transport friendly" tablet - which would be 7" to at most 8" for me, because it needs to be nice to hold with one hand, and possible to slip into a pocket.
If I do need to make calls when I'm out, I use a headset most of the time, because I'm usually listening to music anyway. If I'm not out I can usually comfortably sit down and the size doesn't matter.
As for being an "advanced user", last office christmas party I logged in to our servers via ssh from my phone to apply a fix to our monitoring system - I like to consider myself an advanced user...
My point was that people reading NH are advanced users and everybody on the thread (at that point) was unhappy with lack of options. Ie that phones just keep getting bigger without adequate options remaining below the current standard size.
Wow. I know complaining about downvotes is stupid, but still.
How could I possibly deserve a downvote for that? Does that mean that you disagree with my self classification? That you don't think I have average sized hands? That you don't like that someone has a different opinion to you?
That you accidentally pressed the downvote? I'm assuming it is that.
Since I hit middle age and got presbyopia, I don't even really like looking at a small screen phone any more. And these crazy 500dpi new screens that are coming out are basically full of wasted pixels for someone like me.
Oh, I don't know - I like browsing the web on my phone and I started feeling that my Nexus is too small. I'm seriously thinking of getting a phoneblet next.
