The left side houses a volume rocker and the right the power button. Along the top you’ll find a 3.5mm headphone jack and on the bottom a Micro USB port for charging. Surrounding the phone are your typical ports and buttons. This phone isn’t going to fit in everyone’s hands or pocket Point is, this phone isn’t going to fit in everyone’s hands or pocket. I hate to make this a sex related issue, but I did find that the men I handed the phone to had an easier time holding it in hand and using a thumb to navigate the entire length and width of the screen. I do have fairly small hands and short fingers, which made it harder to stretch a thumb across the screen to drag down the notifications tray.

The extra screen real estate is impressive but it also makes it fairly hard to hold. Then there’s the fact that the 5.2 x 2.8-inch phone is incredibly wide and long. The phone is light, but it just feels cheaper in hand than say my Droid 2 or an iPhone 4. And that’s all it really is, a very thin piece of almost bendable plastic.

I mentioned this same sort of feeling in my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer review, and just like that tablet, the back of the Infuse is covered with an etched piece of plastic. On one end, the 4.9-ounce phone is very light, but on the other, it feels a bit chintzy. However, once you get the phone in hand things aren’t all that cut and dry. Yes, from afar the phone is a very captivating piece of hardware, especially when its bright Super AMOLED display is powered on (more on that soon). At first blush, people notice one of two things about the Infuse - either its incredibly large 4.5-inch display or its astonishingly thin stature.
