The GSPDA M70 review – size

After having looked at the package/accessory bundle of the M70, it’s time to move on to look at the form factor. This device is the only Palm OS smartphone that does not have a QWERTY keyboard – can it stack up?

First of all – let’s compare the M70 to a Treo 680. The Treo is a lot wider and a bit longer, but is as fat as the M70:

Palm’s TX is significantly bigger, but much thinner:

HP’s baby ipaq(the rx4240 used at TamsPPC’s) is wider, but less fat:

Last but not least, here are images of the M70 next to a Nokia N71 and a classic Siemens dumbphone that was laying around:

In the end, the M70 definitely is the smallest GSM phone currently available with Palm OS. Classic dumbphones are a bit smaller, flip smartphones are about the same size. GSPDA has successfully managed to fit Palm OS into a ‘dumbphone’ – tune in soon in order to find out if they had to sacrifice anything to achieve this unusual feat…
