Not all that Mini
The Mini actually isn't all that much smaller than its bigger brother, the Nokia N97. The mini measures 4.4 inches tall by 2 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick (compared with the N97's 4.6 inches by 2.1 inches by 0.6 inch). It also features a slightly revamped QWERTY keyboard that gets rid of the directional keypad.
