I think everybody was a little wary of touchscreens, but you get used to it really fast. I would never want to go back to a phone with an attached physical keyboard. If you want something with a larger screen that still fits in your pocket, you're probably looking for a screen between 4.5-5" -- the Samsung Galaxies and Nokia Lumias are probably more your size than the iPhones. If you don't care too much about apps, then either one should fit the bill. But note that Windows Phone tends to have fewer of the "niche" apps than iOS and Android -- for example, the Bungie Mobile App is available only on iOS and Android. All of the major apps are available on all platforms. What about music? Do you listen to a lot of it? Do you have a large iTunes library? Because if yes to both of those questions, you'll probably want to consider the iPhone even though it has a smaller screen. If you use Pandora or Spotify or some other radio service, it doesn't matter -- they're available on all phones. I'd suggest you walk into a couple of stores and try out a bunch of models and see which one you like the best. Test them out in your pockets, take note of how long each phone takes to open up an app, try typing out a short note in the email or text apps. Listen to the sales associates there, but take everything they say with a huge grain of salt since they are frequently being incentivized to push one particular brand or model (and even if they aren't, they tend to be fanboys).
