    Title Is "smallest mobile" too big a claim?

    "Smallest" seems to refer to frontal area only. My Nokia measures some 10.5 x 4.3 x 1.1cm (thick) for a volume of 49.6 cu cm. That means even less pocket-strain than the Elegance at 57.3 cu cm. OK, my Nokia is nearly half as heavy again, but the "size" claim here looks somewhat dubious I'd say.

    Though i did see a bluetooth headset-sized one a while back...(sorry, dont know name, or have link) I don't know if it was real or not; or available in the UK.

    How many situations can you get with the following:

    A very small camera phone

    Some hungry, mockney Koreans.

    A nocturnal, semi-deserted car park, much like that infamous one near Hampstead Heath, but for this challenge a much more appropriate location between Plaistow & Dagenham (or at least, on the District Line).

    Some dogs

    A plod

    Bonus points if you can add the following quote:

    "(Pause)...I'll get me coat".
