It's a flip phone -- what do you want it to look like when it's flipped out. Any smaller and you'd complain about it's tiny screen and cramped keyboard. Yeesh!
I think that phones in general have come to their smallest possible size. Anything smaller (that requires traditional input like keys and screens) is just not going to cut it. Aside from thinness, we really need to stop comparing phones like this. Sturdiness should be a category.
Yes, I admit it, I am a huge BB fan boy. I can't wait to get the Bold or the Thunder.
I have to agree with J's remarks, or at least the part about him being a fanboy. :D Seriously though, I'm not really sure how this thing qualifies as ungainly. And considering it's got a heck of a lot more built-in functionality than most flip phones, I think people can shut up now about how it isn't exactly a RAZR. It's not meant to be a RAZR, it's meant to be a smartphone.

I agree! Any smaller and it could become difficult to text and email on it. It's a Blackberry, and those things come first!
