Amazingly enough it weighs only 2.8 ounces and is about half the size of phones on the market now that are considered to be the smallest on the market. You flip it up with your thumb, which exposes the keypad. Siemens is marketing this as their fashion phone because it looks very cool but it’s also a high performance cell phone. $250. www.siemens.com
