God, yes. I chose the Moto X earlier this year exactly because of its screen size. At 4.7 inches, it's still a little too large for my tastes. I think 4 inches is ideal. But 5.2 is way too big, and I won't be upgrading to the Gen 2 Moto X.

I think those of us with human-sized hands have to take a step down to mid-range phones to get a decent sized phone, even if we're willing to spend the money for high-end specs. I was really hoping Motorola would corner the reasonably-sized market, but I guess they're just jumping on the phablet train with everybody else.

count me on as well.

i endured with my nexus one until last year (4yrs!) because no flag ship phone could be used with one hand.

i finally gave up for a moto x and i can barely press the top left corner without moving my hold.

I find this comment confusing. Do you hold the phone in your palm?

I use my fingers to support my Nexus 5 and have no trouble reaching any of the corners.
