It's hardly a good comparison; the SO505i is by far the largest and
heaviest of the 505i series. Even so, at 145g and 105 x 50 x 33 mm, it's
173250 mm3, making the 7600 (123g, 87 x 78 x 18.6) 73% of the volume of
the SO505i.
But compare it with the smallest and lightest phone in the 505i lineup,
the F505i. At 105 g it's 15% lighter, and at 98 x 48 x 21 it's more
than 20% smaller. And this is still quite a bit larger than the "stick"
phones of the old days.
Also, these are phones with large displays, meaning that they have to be
physically larger and heavier. If you look at much more basic phones,
the Japanese ones give you phones with far more capabilities (colour,
web, e-mail, scheduler) that are significantly smaller and lighter than
the low-functionality Nokia phones.
