Isn't it really small?? Or is the 7650 big? I guess i got used to the size of the 7650.

But still it looks really small!!!!

I think people and more importantly the phone manufacturers have got a thing about size. They think small is better, so they keep trying to go for feature rich phones with the smallest possible form factor. The fact that these advanced feature become virtually unusable in such a small device seems to ecape them. A screen needs to be big enough to read easily and keys need to be big enough to press easily. The 7650 is a usable size, the t86i, SPV and now the SL55 are too small! I dont want a smaller 9210 replacement just more features from it.

Perhaps we ought to start a campaign where we laugh at people who are trying to have a conversation with a microscopic device held to their ear with two fingers. It does after all look ridiculous

When the 8210 first came out, I thought GREAT! it looks brilliant, but then I got one, and it was too hard to press the buttons as they were that close together.

I think the 7650 is a great sized phone, and 9210 (for what is does) is also a nice size as it has a full qwerty pad and large screen.

Nokia know where it's at, and maybe even SE have come to their senses that small isn't always better.

Size is als related to apliances. I had hard times this year when gone to Sea Side. Going to the beach must be corelated to a proper phone. Or for instance when go out for night life...

I got myself one for business 9210---rest for Fun...

So, returning to the question...To be or not to be...Symbian?


Really nice BTW.

I thought Siemens were meant to offically announce the SL55 today 25/11/2002?

Anyone heard anything?

The phone seems quite small, but the buttons seem quite large to me.... Then again, if the phone's so small, the buttons are small too....
Too bad its not Symbian....

The keys are too small !!! it is impossible to type sms.
but using it only for talking its ok. I dont think its really great to have two
phones with you all the time :-? one for talking/showing off and other for
using. thats stupid. you can use 7650 for all of that
