my initial response when i first opened the box was

"hey it's not big, it's not too heavy either"

then i hand it over to my cousin

he goes "wtf are you talking about, you don't call this big?"

haha, i was first weighing it in my hand without the battery =P
any ways, i still don't think it's too big or heavy. I'ma 5'2, 125 pound male, and coming from a thin and lightweight phone, having this be my first smart phone / mobile computer, I thought it would be heavier. Either way, it's not like it's anywhere as big as my wallet
