Small mobile phones?

[blindswelledrat]

The trend for mobile phones at the moment seems to be for them getting bigger and bigger with more and more features.
Does anyone know of any phones bucking this trend. I don't care about features and just want a small phone that fits in my pocket and enables me to talk to other people. Quite simple really but noone seems to do one.
Every one currently entering the matket seems to express dimensions in metres/kilometres and boast about irrelevant features that a)I will never use and b) I have in about twelve other formats anyway!
Thank you please.

There used to be a Sony Ericson that was really small, but discontinued, can't remember the model no (helpfully! )

How about a Nokia 8850? Great phone. Small & no features, but quite "retro" cool....

Ebay is your friend..

Not bad the nokia but still not particularly small. I would merely describe this as 'not massive'.
Any other suggestions?

My Mrs has just bought the Nokia 6111. It's quite small and supposed to be good.

Nokia 6210?

Thats massive. And wrong.

The 6111 isn't too bad but still a similar size as a phone I had 6 years ago.
Thats why I'm confused. Surely technology advancements mean that they should be able to make them much smaller?

Motorola do the SLVR and the RAZR, LG have just done something almost identical to the RAZR.

You could go retro with the Motorola V50 (I think that's what it was called), the small flip thingy. Shite menu system though.

Some of the more recent samsung flips have been pretty small.

I used to have one of those and although it's nice and thin it is still similar dimensions to a house otherwise and was bulky in trouser pockets.

8210 by any chance? I kept mine alive as long as I could with spares from eBay, but eventually came the day that it died beyond (economic) repair.

Looked and looked for a small, simple phone to replace it and eventually hit on the 6610i - its roughly the same size and shape as the 8210 but has lots of extra features (none of which I use, of course!)

Don't know if they're a current model any more, but there should be a few on eBay I reckon.

Samsung E720 is very comfy in trouser pocket - though I was once told not to keep phone there cos of radiation.

Methinks the miniscule phone you're after may not exist. There are some really tiny phones available from lesser-known makes (VK?) but I wouldn't know if they're any good. Nokia 8310 is always a reliable and smallish phone, but I don't think it's as small as you'd like.

Nokia 3120

I've got one (I think it's Nokia's new business phone to replace the excellent 6210), and it's brilliant - makes and recieves calls and texts with great signal and battery life - what more do you need?

D600 then?

ETA: I can sell you a very retro nokia 3330, old skool black and green screen, no camera or other confusing features, does phone calls and texts and thats about it!
