Does anyone here have the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G from Sprint?   I want a new phone but it seems that all the ones that have good features have HUGE screens.  I have smaller hands and am not sure how easy it will be to get used to it. 
I have small hands and short fingers and do just fine with the even larger GNex, which I would highly recommend waiting for.

What about it fitting in your pocket? Do you notice it a lot more than your old phone?

Fits fine in my pockets (usually BR chinos for a point of reference), even better than the Centro as it's much thinner, even though it's taller.

I have a Droid X right now (which I hate) and coming up on an upgrade. Any non-iphone verizon recommendations?

I don't like the usability, platform, the actual phone... I feel like phones arent really made to make it through the whole 2 year contract and start breaking down a year and change in.

I'm a hardcore iPhone fanboi and I don't have a bad thing to say about the galaxy s3.

That being said, it would have been a good idea to add NFC...

The S3 has NFC. What do you mean?

Phone quality differs from phone to phone. And even the phones that have a nice solid feel sometimes don't last 2 years.
As for the platform your best bet is to play around with the ones in the store because its a matter of preference.  If Verizon had a better selection of Windows phones I would suggest looking at those. And you can always check out the Galaxy S3. I don't love HTC sense but that's just me. You should go to the store and see what you like.

switched recently from palm Treo/centro to LG optimus s. I miss my palm but android kicks in many ways but not enough memory on the optimus at all. I like it also because I can throw it against a wall and nuttin would happen
But I'm still proud to be from clev!

I had the Optimus S for 2 years. The screen wasn't that big. And the camera not the best like the ones out today but it was by far one of my favorite phones of all time. A great solid device! And at the time when it came out it had no lag compared to other high end androids which were doing so well.

A great phone!
