Two phones in one should have very little size impact. Only things you need two of are the RF crystals and perhaps a bit of the RF amplifier circuitry.

Q is simply way down at the beginning of the miniaturization learning curve, unlike Motorola w/respect to its 15 year old analog circuitry. Understandably, of course.

I agree dual mode is essential, then miniaturization. I for one have been unwilling to consider CDMA for my own use until dual mode is offered, given the still lagging coverage foot prints of CDMA.

While people who use built in car phones may have a largely local perspective, I'd bet that a very substantial portion of the non-criminal enterprise users of pocketables feel as I do.
