You know, every day I look at websites on my iPhone, and I think to myself, "You know what would make this phone better? If the screen were smaller! Yeah!"
I often look at my iPhone and wish that it were narrower and shorter. It's a great phone but sometimes I wish that it were just a bit less bulky. I have to switch my SIM card to my old Sony/Ericsson phone so that I can have a phone with me when I go running as my iPhone just won't fit into the pocket on my sports clothes. I'd really rather not do it and instead have a smart phone that was a centimeter shorter and half a centimeter narrower.
You know there are people who don't look at websites on their phones and who don't find that feature particularly compelling. I am also happy with the size of my phone and really don't need a larger one.
I think a large push of the whole webOS platform was to make it much easier to optimize web pages for mobile devices, and I think this phone would be more than adequate for this. An intuitive interface makes it even better.
Also, this screen is larger than the blackberry curve's, and just smaller than the bold 2's.
