The most important factor that you need to look at when purchasing a smartphone is not only the size and weight, but what type of input you're looking to use; whether it be a numeric keypad or a full keyboard. That's what will determine how big your actual device is going to be. The other important factor when choosing a smartphone is the user interface; whether or not it's something the you're comfortable with. If there are things that are quirky, that aren't up to your particular standards, that's going to be something that you're going to have to play with and figure out what's going to work best for you. Another thing that's also going to be very important is the battery life. A smartphone that doesn't last very long isn't going to be very smart for very long, so it has to be able to keep up with your pace in life.
