It's a smartphone, so let's compare it to smartphones:
Nokia 9500:               56.9mm x 148.1mm x 23.9mm 229.9g
T-mobile MDA compact III: 58.0mm x 108.0mm x 17.0mm 127.0g
T-mobile Vario II:        58.0mm x 113.0mm x 22.0mm 160.0g
Nokia E61                 69.7mm x 117.0mm x 14.0mm 144.0g

Sorry, that doesn't look that bad to me. Actually, these are all devices
without GPS, OTOH, they do have a better GSM/UMTS module.

Btw, no matter how it's discussed, the iPhone is not a smartphone, it
misses the category defining extensibility. And when we are at the topic
of the iPhone. It's technically even more vaporware then Neo => it's
just announced, ...
