Phone makers are clearly aiming to spread out the love in terms of phone sizes, with a number of "mini" handsets making their way into stores recently.
The idea of downshifting to an old-fashioned handset, minus email and apps, seems to be having a moment.
Things are a little askew when we start referring to 5.2-inch handsets as "mini," but then, that's just the crazy, upside down world we live in.
That can be accomplished via the Pixel Stand, which turns the handset into a mini Google Home Hub while charging.
It blows any smaller Android handsets like the "mini" variants of the HTC One and Galaxy S5 out of the water.
The value of iPhones sold was calculated at more than the enterprise value - the price minus cash - of Nokia's handset business, sold to Microsoft for €5.4bn earlier in September.
The Nokia 3320, used in the football trial, is already available and like the company's more rugged 5140i is NFC-capable - once a shell containing the necessary chips and mini-transmitter is fitted to the handset.
Otherwise, the handset has all the pluses and minuses of a decent phone with Bluetooth and speakerphone plus BlackBerry mail and (though it wasn't available for me to try) a Web browser.
The new premium handset with its edge-to-edge display (minus one unfortunate top notch) does away with the physical home button entirely and makes greater use of gestures for controlling the UI.
More Android handsets are on the way from Sony Ericsson as the handset manufacturer just announced smaller versions of the Xperia X10: the X10 mini and X10 mini pro.
We're not sure when HTC plans to make these videos available through their own channels, but we just got a trio of videos showing off the three handsets they just announced at Mobile World Congress: the HTC Desire, HD mini, and Legend.
