I loved the old nokias as much as anyone (I had 3 different nokia communicators, even the doomed e90, along with a handful of their more typical offerings)
Personally I've yet to see a phone that fits my hand better than the iphone5. The chamfered edges are about perfect for holding without a case. I think it was the last iphone designed for using without a case, too; my current iphone7, aside from just not quite fitting in the hand that way, kept getting taken off of silent mode because the silent switch would catch on something in my pocket. Clearly, it was made to be kept in a case.
It's a shame that Apple decided to change the iPhone 5 design when they made the iPhone 6. I had an iPhone SE for a couple of years and, while the size was perfect, the straight edges weren't the best.
eh, my personal opinion is that the straight edges made it much easier to grip. I would trade in my iphone 7 for something similarly sized that had the hard edges.
but I'm pretty sure it's just a personal taste thing.

I mean, hands are different.
