How Big Is It?
The first question people usually want answered about a phone is how big it is. Numbers are nice but they don't tell the story. Instead, I'll use my Battle Damaged (tm) Nokia 8250 phone as comparison to demonstrate its size.

As you can see, the Tanager is about a centimeter longer than the 8250. It is also slightly broader.
Thickness-wise, the Tanager is slightly thicker than the 8250, though not by too much.
