If marketed correctly, especially towards females, this phone could be a decent success. None of the girls I know have ever complained about a phone being too small, only about phones being too big. For my friends at least, text messaging and size seems to be the first priority, with the other features coming second to those.

There's still a slight functional balance that needs to be met when making a phone small, however. But if you can make it small and keep it functional, kudos.

There seems to be an acceptance that Apple nailed the form factor for a smart phone when it launched the original iPhone.

I'm still unconvinced. I'd like a PMP slightly larger than the iPhone and I want my actual phone to be a sim card in size. I want it in a wristwatch or my eye-glasses or my headphones (but not my shoe).
