Not sure I like it so far. Feels like I am carrying around a laptop.

I miss my OV and $25/month already. :(
 
I can't believe what i'm reading. The bigger the better well at least for me anyways. In my opinion the optimus v was garbage
 
:D

It all depends on what you use your phone for and size of your hand and thumb.

I wonder how big Samsung Note or those new 4.7 Inch phones feel in hand.

A lot of people operate phone with one hand and thumb. Can they use and handle this phone comfortably with one hand?

More real estate on screen is good for maps, games, e-mail, browsing and documents.

:D

Give it a week, you will still think it's huge, but at that point, break out your OV and set them side by side, you will be amazed at how much you adapted already. The OV will seem tiny by comparison. By week 2 you will rarely long for the small phone again and by week 3 there is no way you could imagine going back.

No, sorry, I've been 6 months on 4.3in screens, I don't want larger.

Bigger screens are nice, but I think 4-4.3 is about the biggest size phone I want to keep in a pocket.

It's funny because the Optimus V is already such a big phone for such a small screen size. They made the chassis a little too big.

The only phones at the time that weren't like that was a few very high end phones. Look at the size of an Iphone chassis compared to the screen.
 
I too have big hands and it fits my hands perfectly! I love it. I hated my intercept, it was small and obnoxious. not to mention texting on it. Overall I think it was a great investment for 35/month + 300 phone cost. iPhone users' collective bills over 2 years... my heart bleeds for them.
Then again, VM is getting the iPhone too...
 
The OV was very heavy. It was built very sturdy. It's screen size was okay at the time but I have found myself perfectly content with a 4.3 inch screen.
I was happy with my MT but the odd square shape always left it feeling awkward for me to hold.

This phone feels very steadily constructed and It's got rounded enough corners it fits well in my hands.
It's honestly been a decent upgrade compared with any other prepaid phone I've purchased.

That was actually my first complaint on seeing that phone. That and quality stopped me from getting it. People thought I was obsessive when I ranted about the square shape and how it would snag in pockets easy and just generally be awkward.

On the other hand, the OV always felt a bit bloated and overly rounded. The Evo 4g felt a bit squared, but tolerable. I think they got the Evo V/Evo 3d right, it just feels good in the hand.
