I loved and miss the on screen buttons. It's one of the things I wish were on my GS3. I can get them on my GS3 but it would look stupid :p

Doesn't look stupid at all. I have them on mine, very cool. Try it out.

Well I thought it would look stupid WITH the capacitive buttons so I decided to turn them off and just keep the on screen buttons. My only gripe is that the 3 dot menu button doesn't seem to work everywhere. I'm running the latest build of Paranoid Android.
 
I don't know what kind of phone the OP would want. It's going to be very hard to find a good phone in 2012 at the size of the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4's screen is very small. All manufactures are making their flagship phones with bigger screens for a reason. :p
 
This actually raises an interesting problem with Android: there are no well-specced or high-end devices that are iPhone-sized. Some people surely don't want a bigger screen or device, but Android doesn't really offer any worthwhile options.
It is not an Android problem. It is a hardware “problem”. On many larger Android-based phones, you can replace the SD-card, battery and in some cases a second SIM-card. The iPhone is smaller, because it does not have the mentioned replaceable components.

Btw, i need the screen size of the Galaxy Note II for maps, videos (no up- or downscaling necessary for 720p videos) and the web (wikipedia, MR, and so on).
 
this is a relatively small phone that still maintains the flagship status. You NEED a flagship device if you want anything to compare with an iphone

Its really got great features...read up on it. Sony xperia V

The upcoming HTC windows phone 8 device looks really good, but I'm not sure of the screen size yet. Hopefully it is not like the Titan.

The droid incredible 4G LTE is also supposed to be small even though it's 4.3 inch.
 
i think i'm going to wait for the galaxy nexus 2, kinda huge screen, love the current one but it looks like there is going to be an update soon.
