Review: HTC One for Sprint
Why are ALL phones too big?
There are some other explanations. Subsidies are a part of it. Really, I think it's a complex web of distortions in the market that conspire to create a disconnect between what many consumers want and what the industry is offering.
You'd think that, at the very least, the success of the (relatively small) iPhone would inspire other companies to make phones of a similar size. I don't have a good answer as to why that's not the case.

I couldn't agree more. There are a decent number of people working for the manufacturers who feel the same way. The issue, as far as I can tell, is the carriers. They seem to think that's what their customers want. That, and/or they find it easy to sell phones with bigger numbers on the spec sheets.

Personally I prefere the bigger screen phones beceause it pretty much gives you two devices in one Tablet like features and a phone. In the instance of the Note 2 it gives you both.
The size is perfect for me. There are some times where I find that a smaller screen will be better. But then I unlock my phone and start using it only to realize why I purchased this phone with the bigger screen. ;)
After some time I have gotten used to the fact that my phone is enourmous haha. Now when I use a small phone I feel as if I am going to lose it or I find myself extremly unsatisfied with the media features, web browsing, netflix, gam...

Thanks to this new HTC offering that lacks removable battery and SD card, I made a very difficult decision to leave HTC after being hardcore for almost 9 years. I purchased the Galaxy SVIII and have discovered that the larger screen actually has great purpose. It may feel intrusive at first, but I can't see myself backpedalling after spending two weeks with it. It simply enhances the viewing experience for everything.
Colleagues of mine said the same thing after leaving their iPhones. This above all, was very difficult for them as well. Last time I checked, they seem to be rather cont...

You didn't consider waiting until the end of April and buying the Galaxy S4?
The S3 is capable of handling Microsd-xc cards up to 64GB's, have you considered getting a 64GB memory card? Even though my current smartphone, the Droid Charge, can't handle them, I got one on Amazon cause it was a price that was too good too pass up, $46.99/.73/gb!
for a Pocket Computer that I can make and receive calls from it's perfect
I rarely hold a phone vertical anymore, its always in two handed landscape position for web or games or texting..
I hate bigger phones too and will probably just keep what I have for a long, long time.
That's like saying nobody wants real keyboard phones, can't measure a market, when when the smartphone isn't even available to choose to measure demand. There are people who prefer smartphones smaller than FIVE inches, and there are people who want smartphones with real keyboards.
Can't measure demand, for a product that isn't available.
NONE of the big 4 carriers offer the S4 Mini, so therefore demand can't be measured.
An entire segment of the market is being ignored.
If Samsung offered a smartphone same size as the Droid Charge, but with the specs of the S4, I would gladly buy it, without hesitation.
