It's credit-card-sized on its largest, user-facing side. It's the easiest size analogy and one most people can relate to. It is 15mm thick, which is 5mm thicker than an iPhone, but really, the only thing that matters is how it actually handles. We posted a follow-up with hands-on pictures here if you want to get more of a feel for the size: http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/02/09/hands-on-gallery-the-itty-bitty-webos-powered-hp-veer/ http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/02/09/hands-on-gallery-the-...
- cryptoz 16y ago> It's the easiest size analogy and one most people can relate to. It's also extremely misleading! I can fit ~20 credit cards in my normal wallet. I can fit 0 of these phones. Given the headline, I think most people were expecting something that is a similar size as a credit card; maybe we could start keeping our phones inside our wallets! So many cool ideas come from this, but they are all destroyed when we realize the phone is actually significantly larger than even a stack of credit cards. I hope I'm not coming off as mean, or rude, here. I just got so excited, you see! Thanks for the extra link, it does help get a good idea for size.
- jaysonelliot 16y agoIn that case, the best analogy would have been to say it was "wallet-sized." It's more accurate, and just as easy to relate to.
- dagw 16y ago"wallet-sized" means nothing to me since wallets come in all kinds of sizes, from just bigger than a credit card to larger than two iPhones side by side. Credit cards are all the same size.

- dagw 16y agoAnd yet no one was genuinely confused about what they meant when they said it was.
- Tichy 16y agoWhat matters is can I slip it into the credit card slot of my purse or not.
