I have a HTC Tytn II one of the flash phones you ruled out becuase it is
too heavy and I have to say I don't find it heavy at all, I don't notice
it in my pocket and when holding it while on a call I have never noticed
how heavy it is, its only when you think about holding it you notice its
quite heavy but its not that bad... the thing only wieghs 190g you'd
have to be a wimp to find that heavy... its not heavy it just wieghs a bit
