There's no doubt there's going to be an 'optimum' size for a smartphone, and my own personal opinion is that it's somewhere near the 4.3 inch.
Let's face it, making calls on a smartphone is not the 'phone's' prime task anymore, it's all of the other stuff you can do that makes people buy them, and on a touch screen most of those things can be accomplished on a slightly bigger screen than most phones currently have.
