I was planning on getting a Nexus phone this year and finally replacing my dated Samsung Galaxy S III. Would be dropping Verizon and my grandfathered unlimited plan to go to Straight Talk, but since I use very little data any more anyway, it wasn't a big deal.
However, I do not want a 5.9" screen. That's just too big for me. 5.2" would be perfect, and I hope they do come out with a version in that screen size.
If they only release the larger size, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. The Sony Xperia Z3 looks pretty good, but with Sony going with a 6 month cycle on their flagship phones, I'm afraid that I'll always have buyer's remorse if I go with them.
Guess I'll just keep my finger's crossed that Google doesn't doesn't lose their mind and release a phablet as their only phone this year.
