I am torn, I know it is time to upgrade my phone, but I don't know whether to upgrade to just accept the larger phone size and go with the 2nd gen SE or go with an android. I'd be interested to know what the closest equivalent android device there is to the 1st gen SE. I am open to a bigger screen size, but not a bigger phone. So, if there was an andriod that was all screen on the front, but was similar size to the original SE, I would be open to that.
