One of the current trends in mobile phones is to go thin, thin, thin. In other areas it is possible to be too thin - modelling, acting and 
any thing else involving Size Zero. Can the same be said of mobiles? Sony Ericsson’s W880i made me ask this question because while it is just 9.4mm thick and looks absolutely stunning, its size has made for a significant set of compromises in terms of its buttons. Without exception these are small, and while they will cause no problems for some, others will find them simply too fiddly to get on with.
Sony Ericsson has obviously put some thought into its ‘buttons dilemma’. The navigation key has raised ridges top and bottom, which make it relatively easy to work with. The shortcut buttons to its sides are raised well from their surroundings and are well spaced. The side buttons are tiny and not raised from their surroundings, yet somehow the pad of a finger works with them.
