Anyone here own a Xperia Z1?
To clarify my earlier post, I obviously think Android is awesome and didn't mean to suggest that it's not worth checking out some phones. There's a wide range between the 3.5" iphone 4 and a 5" phablet. I suspect that you'd like a 4.3-4.7" screen. Bezels nowadays are pretty damn small, so the extra screen doesn't increase the phone size as much as you'd think.
Maybe check out the Moto X - it's a 4.7" phone but pretty much every reviewer has stated that it feels much smaller. Pretty good camera, available with 32GB memory, and it'll be super fast for web browsing. Plus you can custom-order it in a wide range of color combinations for no extra charge.
You mentioned the Xperia Z1 - they also make a Compact version that has the same specs, just smaller screen.

Yeah I touched on that, but it's definitely a big deal and worth repeating.

ce would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.
does the nexus 5 have an SD or micro SD port?
are there any android phones that are the size of the Iphone? I tend to like to have more space in my pocket, but my life is linked with google so iphone is pretty much out of the question.
I can't help you too much on the tablet side, but no Nexus devices offer expandable memory - Google doesn't want users to have to worry about if things should be stored to the phone memory or SD card, and it wants people to use the cloud instead of having everything on the device. I personally disagree with that, but there you go.
There aren't many (any?) top of the line Android phones that are as small as the iPhone. But if you have a Galaxy Nexus now, there are tons that are that size or smaller. As I suggested to amazin, check out the Moto X and Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. You might not like Sony's skin, though, coming from a Nexus. And the Nexus 5 is just barely bigger than the Galaxy Nexus despite having a bigger screen (2mm taller, 1mm wider, and thinner).
