Is it fair to consider the size of the Lumia 1520 as a con?

There is very little debate on the Nokia Lumia 1520 being a large Windows Phone. Its 6 inch screen is massive compared to other Windows Phones. But is it fair to consider the largeness of the Lumia 1520 a "con" (as in pros and cons)?

WPCentral Forums member Rawliglat x poses the question in a recent forums discussion taking the position that the Lumia 1520 is simply designed for consumers looking for a bigger screen. The larger size of the 1520 should not be considered a con any more than the smaller size of other Windows Phone should be considered a con.

We do note in our review of the Lumia 1520 that the Windows Phone may not be for everyone due to its large size, recognizing that size is more of a personal preference than necessarily a "con". Personally, while an attractive Windows Phone I found the Lumia 1520 too large for my taste but not a "con" in the sense that the size takes away from the phone.

But what do you say? Should the 6 inch screen of the Lumia 1520 be considered a con or is the size simply a characteristic of the Windows Phone that may not appeal to everyone?

Feel free to jump over the WPCentral Forums discussion and share your thoughts.
