What's the point of that? Are people's heads getting smaller? Is this distance from ear to mouth reducing through evolution, or is it targetted at kids?

Title Is "smallest mobile" too big a claim?

"Smallest" seems to refer to frontal area only. My Nokia measures some 10.5 x 4.3 x 1.1cm (thick) for a volume of 49.6 cu cm. That means even less pocket-strain than the Elegance at 57.3 cu cm. OK, my Nokia is nearly half as heavy again, but the "size" claim here looks somewhat dubious I'd say.

Nah, it ain't...the Xun Chi 138 is still far smaller

Though i did see a bluetooth headset-sized one a while back...(sorry, dont know name, or have link) I don't know if it was real or not; or available in the UK.

Still, can anyone better this...? Brain implant, maybe...?

How many situations can you get with the following:

A very small camera phone

Some hungry, mockney Koreans.

A nocturnal, semi-deserted car park, much like that infamous one near Hampstead Heath, but for this challenge a much more appropriate location between Plaistow & Dagenham (or at least, on the District Line).

Some dogs

A plod
