      My dell streak 5" still fits in my pocket (no skinny jeans here), and the screen is big enough to be useful.

          3.2 inch to 3.7 inch. Larger screen size is helpful for only those having large hands and large palm.

                    I think current 4 inch is perfect, bigger than that is unnecessary

                          3.7 or 3.8 inch are the ideal for me.
                          It has to fit comfortably my trousers pockets so anything bigger than 4.0 inch is a potencial hindrance to my movements.

                              After using a HTC Desire HD last year I found after switching to the iPhone 4S that i prefer the larger 4.3" screen.
                              The 3.5" screen on the iPhone just doesn't cut it for me.
                              Hopefully the next iPhone will have a larger screen or i might be tempted to an Android or Windows device.

                                3.2-3.7; anything more is too big

                                  perfect screen is 4 inch

                                  3.5 to 4.3 are good but any smaller or any bigger are not ok

                                    Requirements and software design influence the preferred screen dimensions. The iPhone has a rich software layout originally designed for its screen dimension. However, as browsing and multimedia requirements increase the dimensions offered by other players such as HTC are proving more attractive. However, if ownership of tablets increases the mobile's role may return to its original role as a voice communications device first and foremost.
