Despite being "thin" that phone is too large.
- sorbus 16y agoA 4.3-inch display is a bit excessive for a phone, I think. Still, with the right usage pattern (using it for access to the internet and similar things), it could be useful - and, for the right user, the larger screen and presumable better visibility/less squinting would trump the problem of it being comparatively large.
- isaacforce 16y agoHaving larger than average hands I welcome a larger touchscreen phone in to the marketplace; but it does look a bit overly large when held by the reviewer in the opening image, yes. I used to have an iPhone, and now I have an original Droid, and I didn't and haven't found a way to hold either of them in portrait and type with both thumbs comfortably. The iPhone soft keyboard was a bit better than the Droid's, but the Droid's hard keyboard is much better for me than either on-screen option.

- Griever 16y agoHaving held one in person I actually found it to be relatively comfortable in both your hands as well as in your pocket. Just because it is larger than the other "thin" phones out there, I sorta think it works out to its benefit. Typing on the Droid X was slightly easier than on my N1 (and typing on my N1 is simple)
- blaix 16y agoTyping on it is wonderful. The bigger screen really helps there.
- jordyhoyt 16y agoIt is large, but it really doesn't feel like it. I still have to pat my pocket to make sure it is in there, probably because it is so thin. The only time I think of how big it is, is when I am pleasantly surprised at how much fits on the screen, or when I'm trying to operate it with a thumb, holding it in my palm.
