I would not like a large phone since it's either in my pocket or on my belt in a case. I have always said if anyone ever tries to steal my purse they are not getting my phone or my keys since they are in my pocket!

When I walk the dog, I like to carry my phone in my pocket. When I upgraded I went a bit larger.

I can see the attraction to a bigger screen if you don't expect to carry it around other than your purse.

Only once and a while I stick it in my back pocket. It fits but it's not where I would primarily tote it around.

I love my big screen phone. I use it mostly as my primary phone. When we lost all the home phones in the flood we went quite a while using only our cell phones. I use the internet, texting, maps, my grocery list app, MySpace coloring apps, and a few games. Watch videos and listen to music. It's a small tablet. I would never go back to a smaller screen. Mine is in a pocket on the outside of my purse when I am out.

I have a 6+ and have hated the larger size since the moment I got it. It's easier to read, but I mostly use it for phone and camera, once in a while for texts and seldom for any serious internet (just looking up an address or similar when I'm out and about). It doesn't fit in any pockets; I don't like carrying a purse much and a tiny purse is out of the question. I finally bought a case for it that has a spot for my driver's license and a credit card and a long cross body strap, so I can have it with me when I need it, but not have to carry it or a purse. I miss my little flip phone that I could stash in my pocket or bra.

I mostly wish I had my flip phone back. I just want a phone. No way, will I go larger. I have an ipad mini, and that is still to small for me when I am at home. There I use my laptop.

My mini is just for when I travel... and truly, I don't like it... but my laptop is to big to lug around.

Moni

PS, I have an awesome point and shoot camera, that is even water proof.. thus, I can take it out when it is raining.. ;)

My 3 x 5.5 inch Moto Android phone is about as large as I want. My two years is up in a few months and I'll hope for another Android no larger. Even smaller would be fine. My eyesight is fine and larger formats don't fit in the front pocket of my male pants, where I carry my phone.

Helping my wife with her iPad is as close as I want to get to other Apple anythings. They're not for me.

Flip phones are still available if you don't need the services of a smartphone. (For me, that's something I'd never do. Having the utility of a smartphone has become too much a part of my daily routine. )

I'm getting ready to get the 8 plus, waited until the new ones came out for the price to drop. I'm ready for a bigger screen, I have a 6 now.

I had a 6+, I carried it in my front pocket when I walked. It took beautiful pics. For my birthday, I got a Samsung Galaxy s9+. I carry that in my front pocket, too, no problem. Love it.

Next time I need a phone, I will be taking along a few of my wristlet purses to ensure that he phone + my readers fit.

I've had a 6+ since they came out. I am 69 and I carry it in my back pocket 99% of the time. I love the format, obviously.

Flip phones are getting near to impossible to find. My dh needed a new one, I finally had to resort to a refurb from Amazon Prime.

Consumer Cellular still offers flip phones. Dh wanted to switch to smart. The flip served me just fine since I rarely used it. I'd rather use my laptop and be phone free when out and about.

I took a very quick look just now and found that Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Tracfone all offer flip phones.

I saw flip phones at AT&T when I was browsing for my next phone. I'm wanting a Samsung Galaxy S8+ next. I like the idea of a bigger screen but don't want the newest and most expensive phone for my clumsy hands.

IT has to be on Verizon towers. Tracfone has one, it's a refurb ZTE. A beautiful phone. 1.5 rating. Since it was $10, we ordered it. They were right, no one could hear him and he sounded like he was gargling. So we got a refurbished LG from Amazon. Works wonderfully. Walmart said they can't get any flip phones any more, and Radio Shack said they are hard to find anywhere. Verizon's cheapest flip (basic) phone is $120. I think that's ridiculous.

Everyone has a different budget and different requirements but $120 for a phone is relatively inexpensive compared to what most people wind up spending. I recently bought one (Verizon) for an elderly family member and I think it was a bit more than that but at a price that (to me) seemed reasonable.
