For me, I actually never look at the size. There are two criteria: whether there's a supported ROM and battery life. Everything else is tertiary.
Unfortunately, most of the phones with good battery life are big phones. Since mine is face down and just waiting for messages, a big screen doesn't make that much of a difference since it's not on most of the time. Only when traveling do big phones gobble up battery.
I lust for a phone that lasts me a week and has a ROM. It can be twice or even triple as thick as phones today and I wouldn't give a fuck. Nokia and Sony Ericson made thicc phones and it never bothered me.
