Last night our station was visited by the Nextel Fairy, and were given enchanting new Nextel phones! Here's my new GPS enabled phone, right out of the box.



Thankfully, it's a lot smaller than the 'old school' Nextels that the photogs have been using for the last few years. How large were they exactly? Well they wouldn't fit in my pocket, that's for sure.

Here's a size comparison chart I found on the Nextel website.
See for yourself:




And here's a shot of the old phone loaded into the back of my news SUV. (This photo is in no way photoshopped).



Just carrying the phone today, I felt so relieved not having to carry the giant phone on my back, or drag it to my news car in a shiny red wagon.
