Not that simple. All these people who bought ATT 4.5" Samsung Infuse phone instead of iPhone WANT a 4.5" screen:
Uh... huh.

NO, I'm sorry, did you REALLY just try to claim that people like the iPhone less than some piece of trash Android device based on "stars" on Amazon.com?
We're not allowed to post enough emoticons to express just how WRONG that is.

No, your emotions "don't matter at all" (your quote).
I think that's a flawed argument. cajun is saying he finds 4" screens appealing. And Apple actually does have a long and gloried history of changing products because users liked something a different way. There wasn't, after all, "a valid, *design-based* reason" to put video on a 2" iPod screen. Quite the opposite in fact. But Apple was pragmatic about it, saw that people wanted it, and reversed themselves.
Sometimes you do things because it's a good idea. 4" may end up being more the optimum size for the screen. When they designed the original iPhone, they were basically breaking an entirely new trail. Nobody had a design or a form factor like it. I wouldn't see anything wrong in Apple re-evaluating the situation and saying that they were going with a 4" screen.
Seems to me you heard one. Sometimes the whole design-based reason for something like 4" screen is "Wow, I saw one and it sure looked nice." And to be honest, I think that's a better reason than "If we take it to this size, people will quibble about our marketing terms."
Your polite, well-argued posts will no doubt land you in trouble around here...

Are you just playing dumb? I figure you're pretty intelligent. Intelligent enough, at least, to know that's not the post I was referencing. You should obviously know that.

No, your wants don't matter at all.
No one wants a 4.5" screen on their PHONE. It's that simple.

Samsung reviewer says
"The screen is absolutely beautiful. Bight, big and sharp. The screen size was the selling point for me and it feels good in your hand. "
Another one says "I mainly have just wanted a bigger screen".
One more "Screen: its very big and beautiful, which I like very very much. If you are into watching videos etc with your phone you will enjoy it."
One more "The big sell for me was the large display, I have no vision problems, but I always felt that my Captivate's 4" screen was too small."
Only 3.5 star iPhone consumer rating? Not great. People praise looks but mention limited functionality, usability issues and reliability problems

Can you read? A better question would be, "DID you read?" That's not at all what I said. Don't try to put words in my mouth.
