I have given up: the iphone mini (which I own) is gargantuan.

There are a few glimmers of hope around the edges. Palm was interesting but too small (the primary problem was the battery, not the screen size). Unihertz is doing some interesting stuff in the small phone arena, but their stuff is either too small and thick (the jelly) or too big (titan). Their styling is also a bit funky in a 90's tech vibe sort of way that I'm not a huge fan of.

What I want is an iphone 4-sized phone that I can keep in my pocket w/o noticing and that provides the basics of smart phones. Even better if it could be an e-ink screen so I don't have to charge it very often.

I have accepted that I am a market of one.

I'm with you! The litephone 2 is the closest we've gotten but at our market-size the software stability will likely be lacking.

I like the idea of the litephone except it's the opposite of what I use a phone for. I don't care much about phone calls, they're mostly useless except that my doorbell is hooked up to my phone (which is of course set to silent lol) and sometimes I need to talk to banks or recruiters. I want maps, chat apps, email, lyft, a browser, etc. but also to disable 99% of notifications 99% of the time.

Right now I still use my Palm Phone (PVG100) and I'm bummed that it looks like they won't release another one. Gonna use it until it's impossible for it to function in the modern world.
