Compared to Microsoft Smartphone (here: HTC Voyager branded as Orange SPV E200) the Toshiba e800 looks big:

... but since it has much better specifications than Smartphone, including big display of 480x640 pixels (compared to 176x220 in Smartphone), then no wonder it is bigger!

Toshiba e800 is also big compared to other Pocket PCs - because it has high resolution VGA display - and the other Pocket PCs have only 240x320 resolution - 4 times smaller! Here is Toshiba e800 and Dell Axim X3i (to the right, also a Pocket PC with built-in Wi-Fi):

Toshiba e800 is even bigger than XDA Pocket PC phone:

... where you can notice that Toshiba e800 is superior to both XDA and Dell Axim X3i because it has additional (!) power supply socket - so you don´t have to use data transmission socket for power supply connection.
