The smallest cellphone

oldschool · Sep 28, 2004, 05:02 PM

i hate having stuff in my pockets, so i want the smallest phone available.

Can any of you give me any suggestions of some really tiny phones?

I don't want anything fancy...just small, and the ability to make voice calls.

Cameras, color screens and java games are all fine and dandy but they aren't what i'm after.

Try the Samsung x426 or x427 (different model depending on carrier).

This phone is VERY tiny and thin. Also, Sony T616's are very tiny too, but have a look at the aforementioned Samsung model.

im going to have to say that the Siemens SL55 or SL65 are probably the smallest, they are slider phones, but you dont have to slide them open to talk even, just dial, my friend has one they are great if you ask me

Sony T610 or T630 are the smallest, with all the functions and great compatibility with the Mac.

Here's thin for you, Motorola RAZR V3.

I have the Samsung E105. Not bad. Good battery life, small, good reception. Color screen w/ some goodies. Always in my pocket and I hate stuff in my pockets.

LG VX 3200

No frills or thrills. Does have a color screen. No games or web browsing. No Bluetooth. Just good for making phone calls. Plus, it has a speaker phone. And a few small extras.

Nokia 6610

They just released an "-i" updated version with a crappy camera, other than that it's the same phone. So you should be able to get the original version for less now. Nice size buttons for the size of the entire phone, slightly taller than a SE 610 is I remember the time I put them back to back once. Very good battery life and reception, has speakerphone and FM radio.

I got a used carrier-locked one on eBay as an emergency replacement for my Nokia 5190, which I was having battery trouble with. I've really enjoyed it.

So what you really want is a Zoolander phone.

They have started coming out in some places but it's going to be the later motorola phones that will have itunes on them. Maybe a firmware upgrade further down the line might add the same functionality but at the moment it's a no.

Drewswa77 · Sep 29, 2004, 01:20 AM

I have the siemens M55. its nice and small. I can almost close my hand and hide it in there. It's Almost too small at times for dialing but I have gotten used to it.

i used to have a panasonic GD55. the panasonic g50 is the same thing with a color screen. those are by far the smallest i have seen, but way to small to use comfortably. its a great way to impress chicks though

right now i have a samsung s200 which is really small for a flip phone.

I sell mobile phones and the Panasonic GD50/55 etc is definitely the smallest by a long way, you just need very small fingers to operate it! Max
