The other day, I used my friend's cell phone because my battery was dead. Her phone was TINY that I had trouble holding it, and I'm a small person with a relatively small head (at least, I think so) and hands. There has to be a point where phones stop shrinking, because we won't be able to use them!

Has anybody here ever not bought a particular phone because it was too small?

Yes. For me, if I can't even properly punch the numbers, let alone see them clearly, it's too small! Besides, I also have tendency to lose things once they are too small...

for me any phone smaller than my palm is too small.

I totally agree that small is not good when it comes to phones. Make them thin thats cool but small is just stupid. Not to mention how dumb you look holding this tiny thing to your ear with people looking at you. :p

I want a captain kirk beam me up type phone.

Also, I don't have arthritis or anything, but bending my hand around a phone that small makes my fingers ache.

I'm glad that cell phone companies are starting to get this, and that the shrinkage of cell phones seems not to be on the rise anymore.

As a general rule nothing under five inches should ever be considered......

I don't care for the really tiny ones. I'm like you in the sense that I am constantly misdialing because the number buttons are so small.

My wife, on the other hand, loves small gadgets. She likes cute things... go figure.

It all depends on you and also your palm sizes. But I wouldnt mind having a small phone but at the same time if the sizes is longer as my index finger then that would be too small.

Yeah I got a new phone recently, and I do not text message. The other day I had to send a text message and it was horrible because the keys are too small. I am a very fast typist on a pc, I can write in palm like nobodies business but I am like a 5 year old in double casts trying to communicate on my cell phone.

I had to get rid of a phone because it was too tiny. you couldn't really see the screen, the keys were too close together and i kept losing it in my bag.

I recently sold my old phone and got a slvr. I can barely dial with one hand anymore - the darn thing is too thin. I thought I'd get used to it but it's no use. I can't wait to get rid of this phone for a thicker larger one again.

I am an older person and a tiny phone would be very hard for me to handle. As far as I am concerned the bigger the better.
