HTC HD2
Height - 120.5mm
Width - 67mm
Depth - 11mm
So we're only talking 1.5mm difference in height and 7.5mm in width. That's only just over a 1/4" difference in width and a negligible amount in height. I really don't think it would look any bigger in your back pocket. Do you?
If you're only gaining a 1/4 in width and about the same height and thickness, wouldn't your really want the 4.3" screen? When you're using the browser, the bigger the better (at least from my Hero perspective) and when you're using GPS navigation in your car, I think you'll appreciate the larger screen. My 3.2" screen doesn't make it.

Very interesting. You make a very good point. The Nexus One might even be too big in my pocket. haha But yes, I would agree...a 1/4 of an inch doesn't make THAT big of a difference at all, seemingly, but it might when in my pocket. You also haven't seen the jeans I wear. haha
In the end, it will all just come down to trying it in person and putting it in my pocket. I still, honestly, think that the size of the Nexus One is the ABSOLUTE largest that I could pocket. So, even a 1/4 inch bigger would, in fact, be too big. I know that sounds like a stretch and I'm not just trying to further my opinion, I just honestly think that the HD2, though very thin and very similar in size to the Nexus One, would just be tipping the scale on size for me, personally. If you saw the jeans I wear you would understand.
Anyways, yeah, I agree with you. The jeans I wear just make me the exception, I think. I pretty much wear Diesel and Taverniti jeans. So, look them up and you'll see what I'm talking about.
