Seriously?  I know I've touched on it before barely, but with behemoths such as the Droid X and the EVO 4G pretty popular in the mobile world I'm worried that the trend of the big screen phone will continue.  I know that I've seen people in the world with their EVO out and it looks like you could serve dinner off of it.  How is that easily portable?  You almost need a holster at your side to fit it right.

Along the same lines, Apple has stood by it's 3.5" form factor since the iPhone's inception.  It makes you wonder if the folks in Cupertino are exploring other options for their next iterations of the iPhone.  Given their recent comments regarding small tablets, it leads me to believe they wouldn't go for the full 4.3" monster but maybe a small bump to 3.8" or so.  They have to keep the Retina Display resolution that everyone loves, so I'm not sure what the screen size change would do to it.

The line between what makes a phone and phone and what makes a tablet a tablet is becoming more and more blurred.  I want my phone to be handy and not bulky and awkward.  I also do not want to be left behind with older equipment simply because I refuse to go big.  A 5" phone in your pocket seems prone to breakage.  All it takes is a trip into a desk or door and 1/4 (or more) of your screen is gone.  Sure there's been advances such as Gorilla Glass and whatever Apple is using, but with enough force any glass will break.

Of course someone could simply make the Pip-Boy form factor popular and everyone will just operate off of their arm.
