In addition to the recently started poll about the resolution of the next Jolla Phone I would like to start a poll regarding the screen size.

What is the ideal screen size for you?

I have listed a few screen sizes below, just choose one of them. If your prefered screen size is not listed feel free to add it as an answer. Keep in mind that the answer has to be community wiki as well.

Screen size does not really matter, important for me are the dimensions of the device. The current Jolla phone is ok, but I do not want a bigger one. Smaller (just like the N9) would be even better.

So it looks like Jolla should really consider making two (different sized) new phones, with similar specs.

4.5", as is, since it is useable with one hand. And the tablet is on its way... ;-)

The tablet part has nothing to do. Even if it were a 5"-range phone to be used with both hands, you could not replace it with a tablet.

@pulsar just to help you understand: If I want a bigger screen, I would buy a tablet. That is my personal opinion, which isn't subject to discuss. And, b.t.w. I CAN replace it by a tablet, if I personally want to do so. I for myself know, what I can and what I can't. If you have a different opinion, please state it as such and don't tell people, what they can do or not.

As big as possible - at least 5". The world's population is aging and with age comes eyesight problems.

~5.3 inch phablet

I''m currently using the Samsung Galaxy Note2.

I find the size perfect and wouldn't want to go smaller, 5.3 inches I believe. I would go bigger, not too much though. A Jolla phone based on similar sizing would be my preference to a smaller form factor.

Same size as jolla 1 but thinner bezel. To be able to reuse all TOH...

I don't like the question, I am against a new size of screen because of phone toh compatibility.
because it could bring the discussion that jolla 2 toh could not be compatible with the jolla 1. And my opinion, all jolla phones should have toh compatibility (mechanical) together. If not compatible, then is bad publicity i think for jolla, because all developement will take direction of more complexity. For a small team is a risk to eliminate.

Otherwise, should you open a thread as request for a phablet (variant between phone and tablet) where toh are don't needed anymore. That's the best way i think. Really

Ideal size would be 3.9", like the N9, but the size of the Jolla 1 should be kept for compatibility with existing TOH. However, the screen bezel should be minimized.

3.5 to 3.9 inches 720p is enough. I like small phones which are easily holdable with one hand and also usable with one hand without anything extreme finger flexibility. I don't care of TOH compatibility.
