How much smaller do you think phones and hand helds will get? It just seems to me that the electronics are getting smaller with more features. How is anybody going to be a able to see the buttons on a phone or whatever if things do get smaller.

I like the smallnes of them because it is more compact and easier to carry and store. I love anything that will fit in my pockets and not be bulky. However, if they keep getting too small, no one will be able to push the keys. Maybe that's why everything is voice activated. Maybe they are just hoping people speak to the phone to call whichever number you are wanting. At the same time, some of the smaller phones are even too uncomfertable to even use for more than a couple minutes. People who use their phone for long distance call usage are going to talk longer than that.

I don't care for the small phones. I prefer something that will fit my ear and allow me to speak into the phone. I use my cell when outdoors alot and it's hard to hear or be understood with wind blowing. Also, the small phones might fit nice in a pocket, but I would lose it in my purse! I wonder if the people designing these small phones also use them. And, are they building them for a smaller statured person like teenagers and children? I think that's where the market is focusing.

I think they're making them smaller for easier portability and aesthetic design. They look a lot cooler. Also, the trend will be for wireless headsets, so you can carry the phone in a pocket and with the wireless headset, you don't have to worry about holding it up to your ear and getting a cramp in your arm.
