judging by description this phone is huge and heavy. Is it true?

It is about the same size and weight as an iPhone or older smart phone. Since it is aimed toward older or less tech savvy people I don't really consider it too large or heavy.

The phone measures 5.0 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches and weighs 3.6 ounces which is about the same size as an iPhone 5. The larger size and weight listed in the Amazon product description is probably for this phone's retail packaging. PC Magazine published a review on July 26, 2012. Clarity has a web site that has more information. I found the "OP/TECH USA Mini Loop Strap - QD" ASIN B001QWPFYW to be a handy neck strap for this phone.

The phone is not heavy, but I was not happy with it because it either dropped calls or the phone cut in and out on calls.

Not big or heavy. The ring tones are strange though and the set up is not very user friendly for someone that just wants a simple phone. It works OK.

So far I didn't have that problem. The phone is made of plastic. Only the back case is made of metal. But if you ask me, I'll say stay away from this phone. It is riddled with bugs (well, people who heavily use the phone's functions like syncing, emailing, adding memo in calendar etc would notice it). But if you primarily use it for sms or call, you won't experience the problem at all, hence the many glowing reviews from it's users.

No, the phone is not a mini. It's just like the samsung galaxy phones except for the weight. I feel it's lighter and very valuable in countries where there may be need for dual SIM cards

No because there is a big size difference between the phones....send it back

Yes. I can't tell you anything more than this except both my sons swear by these phones for heavy duty usage.

No, this is a very basic model of phone. I would only recommend it if it is for a scenario where people don't plan on using it very often.

i would say, as far as other phones go, this one would be one of your best choices. The buttons are fairly large and easy to see and use. I have seen phones with even larger buttons, but combined with the other features and durability of this phone, its definitely a good choice

Hi; it´s like an IPhone 4 with its case; but is heavy . To be honest, I suggest you should search other options; this Cell , died after 3 months.

no, but it is a very good phone for those who e-mail and text a lot. However I wouldn't trust buying it on amazon, have bought a couple and have always had problems.

It's a bit longer and heavier than a cell phone. You could carry it in a pocket in the case.

No! It's a horrible phone for ANYTHING except making calls! Says it has lots more capabilities than it actually does.

Not sure! I was looking for a phone that was rugged and durable but was not ready to go backwards as much on the technology. I have since giving the phone away. Not sure of the other phones mentioned. It would take some research.

its reaaaaaaaaaaally big, almost 2 iphones could feet on it at the same time, I bought it but I have never used it, its just too big.

Hi. This telephone is not heavy. It weights 2 pounds 7 ounces. I have the 2500 model phone, and there is no comparison. However, this phone is easy to move around, unlike the original telephones from the 1950's and 60's. Good luck!

Yes. I had this phone for three years and wore it out and ordered the new one. Love it very much. You won't be sorry if you like this type of phone. The keyboard is the largest I could find.

Sadly no . And more bad news is the phone only has 2 Mega bites of internel storage. So if you are a smart phone kind of guy, I do not recommend this phone.

Yes the numbers are large enough. I do like this phone which. I recently purchased. So far I am pleased with this phone.
