Gizmodo: smaller is better

Sizemodo: Helio Fin vs. Ocean vs. iPhone vs. HTC Touch

Here's how the Helio Fin, the thinnest clamshell in the US, stacks up against other equally thin phones. As you can see, it's pretty much the same thickness as the iPhone, which is amazing since the Fin actually flips open. It's slightly thinner than the HTC Touch, and is dwarfed by the bulge-tastic Helio Ocean. More Sizemodo after the jump.

Sizemodo: PSP vs. Slimmer PSP

What does 19% slimmer really look like? We compare the old PSP to the new PSP (slimmer) and say that 19% doesn't really make all that big a difference. It's definitely not all that much shorter (0.6mm shorter) and narrower (2.6mm narrower). So how much is 4.4 mm really? It's 0.17 of an inch. Nothing you're really going to notice. [Sizeasy]

Sizemodo: Sprint Mogul vs. PPC-6700, Cingular 8525, and Treo 700wx

The Sprint Mogul stacks up quite well compared with its predecessors and its distant cousin the 700wx.

It's the shortest of the bunch (the PPC-6700 is actually taller when you count the antenna), and definitely the thinnest. It's still relatively bulky if you're not used to carrying around an HTC slide-out smartphone, but it's definitely thinner than anything that's come before.

HTC Touch Live Sizemodo

We aren't lying when we say the HTC Touch, HTC's newest finger-touching phone, is the smallest and thinnest Windows Mobile Professional phone we've seen. The obvious reason being that HTC's taken out the slide-out keyboard, but everything else that's good in the world seems to be intact.

Take a look at the gallery to see just how small it is, and just how much less of a crotch bulge you'll get when putting this in your pockets. – Jason Chen

Sizemodo: Helio Ocean vs. Everything (including iPhone)

Jason Chen — Wed, 09 May 2007 15:46:22 EDT

We know you're itching for more Helio Ocean coverage, so here it is: a live Sizemodo of the Helio Ocean vs. every phone we have. First, we'll kick it off with a similar type of device: the slide-out QWERTY smartphone. In the middle we have the Helio Ocean, on the left there's the T-Mobile MDA, and on the right is the Cingular 8525. Which is bigger? Check the gallery to find out.

Update: We've got three more galleries for you now, the most exciting of which is the Ocean vs. LG Prada and iPhone (papercraft). Even though it's not quite in the same category, you guys (in the poll held yesterday) decided that you were looking forward to the Ocean even more than the iPhone. Here they are, head to head.

Make the jump for the Ocean vs. QWERTY phones like the SideKick 3, the Moto Q, Palm 755p, and various other Helio phones.
