        Galaxy S2 screen size of 4.3'' is perfect to fit comfortably in hand or pockets, whereas Galaxy Note screen size is too big to be called handy.

            I prefer 3.7 to 4 inch screens. Anything beyond 4 inches is hard to type on with one hand.

              I have tried both the iphone4 and the galaxy Nexus. The nexus has a wider screen but the iphone fits better in my pocket. Not much difference in ease in handling and operating.

                  Upto my view the best smartphone screen size should be
                  "120x60x9"...

                        yeesh, why people keep complaining about sizes of these phones, don't you all get it? it's all about preferences, some like bigger some like smaller, you know why vendors make them in multiple sizes, because they have demands for them, it's all about the demand and supply law, why would a phone manufacturer create an x inch phone if it knows that no one is demanding for it?, I like my phone with big screen and I don't expect to go smaller, but I don't feel like I should question people who would go for small screens, enuf.

                          3.7" is definitely fine for me. Besides, bringing a boombastick 4.0-99999.9" smartphone in a public crowded place is such an idiocy. I absolutely prefer small but professional looking UI and design than the beautiful biggies.

                            SGS2 screen size 4.3" is comfortable for a phone. Anything bigger like SG Note is not comfortable as a phone..

                                I own Samsung galaxy note 5.3 inch and my next phone will not be anything less than 5.3 up to 5.5 inch if edge to edge screens and as long as the phone is lighter and thinner. No way to go back to smaller screen size phone. I use my phone heavy to watch video and browse the internet. I am writing this review using my galaxy note.
