It's about the same size as an Nokia E71 (except for the thickness)

e71: 114 x 57 x 10 mm

And the e71 is a normal phone for calling.

All these phones - iPhone, N97 (incl. mini), almost all E- and N-series devices - are too big for me. I couldn't imagine carrying them around comfortably.

To give you an idea what we're talking about here: The Nokia 6320 was almost ideal in terms of size and weight. That's what I expect a phone to be.

For everything that doesn't fit this form factor (like a large screen for videos and browsing), I want a secondary device that I take with me only when needed.

"Browser" is apparently Fennec. AGPS (not GPS). UI is based on heavily modified GTK+. Low level phone stack is based on oFono (developed together with Intel). The device has got video out and (apparently) builtin FM transmitter. The battery is 1320mAh.

And yes, you better put this all into Wiki, unless somebody has done so already

Ah, come on, you are being far too selective about this whole phone thing Just get yourself a cheap E51 phone, carry it with N900 for a few weeks, then discard the phone as you adjust to a slightly bigger device and no longer feel like using two gadgets at the same time.
