I got the Windows Phone because I wasn't seeing much innovation in the iOS (my opinion mind you).
With the release of the Windows Phones beginning of Q2, a three-horse race is what a lot of consumers and marketers are looking for. Pity we have to wait another couple of months to see those stats.
You may have missed it but the Nokia/Windows phone stumbled out of the gate, broke it's leg and rolled over and killed the jocky. It's back to a two-horse race, if it ever was a three-horse race.
I don't know, if Apple decides to stick with 3.5" will you buy a new one? A better question is do you think the current 3.5" is to small. I think so but I own a phone with a 5.3" display, it has completely ruined me for smaller displayed phones. The size is so useful that I'm leaving my normal tablet behind more and more and using my phone more, I even installed the tablet version of Android on it. Do you think surfing the internet is comfortable enough on a 3.5", have you ever not used the zoom feature to view a website.
A 4.5" iPhone is needed to beat the competition. No one will by a small 3.5" screen that does not display enough.
It amazes me that people can make such statements, apparently without even thinking about the facts.
The 3 iPhone models are among the top selling phones (#1, 2, and 3 for 2011, but I think #1, 2, and 5 for the last few months). How do you reconcile that with your statement that no one will buy a 3.5" iPhone?
Now, it may be that Apple will introduce a larger phone. It may even be a positive and might even help sells. But statements like "no one will buy a small 3.5" screen" are ridiculous.

Reminds me of the famous Yoggi Berra quote where he said about a restaurant, "Nobody goes there any more, it's too crowded."
Apple is still leading in profits which what companies care about. If it wants to gain significantly more market share (and that may not be a desirable thing if it cuts into profits), it needs to offer different size phones (ie a 4" iPhone 5 and a 3.5" 4s which very well may happen) and offer an inexpensive 3GS in markets where phones are not subsidized.
What's an iPhone 5? Why an iPhone 3GS rather than an iPhone 4?
