I had to get my old Siemens S10 (I think its an S10) out of the drawer
when my phone packed up recently.  I have to say it was a joy to use
and the call clarity was superb.  There seemed something right about
holding it in my hand and the microphone actually being near my mouth
rather than feeling like I was scratching my ear and the mike being
god knows where.

BUT, it looks ridiculous now, although it is still slimmer than many
phones on the market now.

My feeling is that phones will get bigger again as people demand
better screens and a small Qwerty keyboard on their phone, plus the
camera of course.
