After having unboxed the box a few days ago, it’s now time to take a look at the physical size. As the ipaq 910 is a QWERTY phone, the size options are limited. Let’s see how big the box turns out to be:
Palm’s Treo 680 is one of the best-selling smartphone form factors (Treo 680/750/755p are more-less the same). Our ipaq is exactly as wide, but quite a bit thinner:
Nokia’s E71 is a lot smaller:
Coming to PDA’s, it’s time to look at the classic hp ipaq 3600:
The “baby ipaq” (rx4240) is quite a bit smaller:
Apple’s iPod touch is a lot thinner:
Flip phones always are smaller, but can be fatter. The images below show a Nokia N71 and a QTek 8500:
