Size is fine I prefer it Much better then the Haromny 1100i which had too
few buttons (I took it back to replace it with the ONE) and got to love the
rechargable batteries and docking station as long as your keep an eye on
the levels although a spare phone is a good stop gap if you do happen to
forget to put it on charge.
