Very Small Mobile Phones

from the gadgets dept

There are two things that I, personally, look for in a mobile phone: size and sound quality. In fact, size wins out over quality anyway. So, I'm happy to see a lot of new tiny phones are getting ready to make there way into everday use. Of course, the downside is that you have smaller screenspace to handle all the fancy new features that these phones are trying to incorporate. At this point, I don't care. I still don't use my phone for anything other than a phone. I realize that some folks are drooling over some of the new features, but I wonder how many people actually want to surf the web on their phone (beyond the novelty aspect). I can maybe understand getting directions, or checking traffic, but beyond that, I haven't seen a killer app, though I'm sure one will show up sooner or later.
