Now I go back to my Z10 and it feels way too small. I think the Z30 is literally the perfect size for a device. If the slider keeps close to the Z30 dimensions (as it appears to be from the estimates), I think it'll be perfectly sized. So long as you are currently a Z30 user, I don't think the slider will feel big at all, it'll feel pretty damn similar. Look at the device market though, even Apple is moving towards larger devices. The average size device on the market right now is a 5-6" screen.. The slider is right in the middle of that. I really wouldn't bank on BlackBerry coming out with a Slider Mini TBH. Apple was the one company still holding back on keeping small devices.. Even they realized that market is dying and nearly gone now and came out with the "PLUS" variant which has sold incredibly well. Every single manufacturer is going larger, not smaller. I think BlackBerry will find the sweet spot with the Slider and stick with it as it isn't swaying too far away from their current largest devices (Z30 & Leap).
