    some phones are too small though. just because you can make it tiny, doesn't mean you should... i think the iphone is a nice size.

  That comparison is wrong. The correct dimensions are on the apple website, about the same as the treo.

  It's about the same size as an unopened RAZR. It's thinner, but a little bigger in the other two dimensions.
