Small android phom

Chrisv006 · 03-18-2012, 09:00 AM

Hey all,

My wife recently killed her Epic so we got her a used Pre....well she does not like the Pre and wants android back. The kicker is that she wants something small, smaller than my Evo, close to Pre sized.

I have found several options, none on sprint (Xperia mini pro being her favorite). I don't want to give up our sero premium plans so I need help finding a sprint offering. Her only requirements are android with a small form factor. I am OK waiting if something great is upcoming. I am also OK with used, older phones if its what she want.

Thanks all.

On Sprint your choices are limited. They won't activate an Xperia since Sprint never sold it. The HTC Hero is the smallest Android phone I can think of. It's old, had some issues, but it might be the best fit for the criteria you mentioned.

The Samsung Conquor and LG Optimus S are small phones and may fit her needs better than a Hero. A Hero would work as well if it's rooted with CM7.

Marquee, Ultra Transform, Optimus S, Transform heck I would even throw the NS4G in there now since we have phones like the E4GT.

I personally am looking at either the Marquee or Ultra Transform

I 3rd the LG Optimus S.

Thanks for the input all, Ordered an Optimus S off eBay the other day for her. I liked the Conquers' extra features better, but with her history of phones, I can get 4 Optimus's for the price of one Conquer

The only thing about the Optimus is just that typing on the screen takes a lot of accuracy. Or you can just use the voice option.

Why would women want a small screen when they have huge hand bags and purses to put them in? You are right though. Almost every woman I know has an iPhone and that's why I have labeled it a chick phone. I'm getting a Nexus as I want a 4.5" - 4.6" screen. It doesn't seem like the Nexus is all that much bigger than the 4.3" display phones. The iPhone is just too small. The Galaxy Note is too big in my opinion.

I've seen several petite girls carrying Samsung Galaxy Notes!
