There's not a chance in the world that thing fits in women's pants pockets!

What I'm looking for has the form factor of a phone (potentially even much smaller) and a camera like a phone, but all it does is take pictures. I'm fine with seeing the pictures on a screen, just not editing them.

It's 4cm shorter and 1cm narrower than an iPhone 16. Of course it's also 4x thicker (~8mm vs 33mm). Another alternative would be getting something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Coolpix-Digitalkamera-Megapixel... although I am not sure about the quality of images you can get from that.
If the image quality is good enough for you - you could try out an iPod touch.
I was hoping for something that's been manufactured more recently than 5 years ago, but I do wish that type of device had caught on better than it did.
