At CES 2011 I wanted to see and hold the Samsung Infuse, but it was locked behind the glass box. I wanted to compare it with my white iPhone 4 and my Samsung Captivate. But since it was behind the glass box it wasn't possible to do that. The question is, is anything over 4.3" to big as a mobile phone? I personally think 4.3" is the max as a mobile phone. I'm not saying that anything above 4.3" can't be used as a mobile phone, but I wouldn't be holding a 4.5" device or larger up to my head and talking with it. I do see using a bluetooth headset or any headset and making calls with those larger screen devices. The Samsung Infuse is said to be released 2nd Quarter of this year on AT&T with 4G HSPA+ and with the Super AMOLED plus display.

I like my EVO, but feel it is borderline too big as a phone. Keeping it connected to a Bluetooth device helps, but I can't see the trend of increasing phone screen sizes to last much longer. As more people adopt to using 7-10" tablets, I think phones may trend back to the 3-4" range. We'll see how well the HP Veer is received when released.
I can see mobile phones anywhere from 3.7" - 4" screen size and 4.3" been the maxuim. I tend to use my Galaxy Tab tethered to my IPhone 4 or Samsung GT when I need to catch up to news, web, email, view documents, and catch up on my RSS feeds.
I still can see smaller screen devices sell and consumers using a tablet with a screen size starting from 5" - 10" and tethered for internet.
I wouldn't mind a 4.5" screened device. Using a hd7 now and any extra video viewing screen is a bonus in my book. I'd rather have a 5inch phone then a 3 inch phone and 7-9in tablet to lug around. As long as I can get it into a beltcase, all is good.
I expect you meant to say "TOO" large.
Yes thanks...
I'm searching for the largest screen size I can find for my elderly father who has difficulty seeing small print. For his issues a 4.5 inch screen is a plus.
