ZTE Skate's screen is too big. Any smaller alternatives?

Colibri

I've had the ZTE Skate/Orange Monte Carlo now since Christmas and it is great. Nice looking phone, runs CM9, speedy and made me fall in love with Android again.


The only problem (and it's a first world one ) is that the screen is a bit too big. At 4.3 inches, it's sometimes a chore to be using especially one handed. It is a small one, but I'd like to know are there any alternatives around at the moment?


Needs:

• ICS support/community ROMS
• To be as fast as the Skate
• Smaller screen, capacitive
• Cheap enough, I don't want to upgrade or break the bank
• To be unlockable. I'm prepay

Optional:

• Physical keyboard

Thanks guys and gals.

Do you have particularly small hands? I can manage my XS fine which is pretty much the exact same size.

Nope, my hands aren't small. Just feels like a chore at times to use when moving.

ZTE blade if you wanna go alot smaller. Huawei Ascend G300 if you want just a little smaller.

Anything else will be either lower spec'd or cost a good deal more than a skate.

Zte Skate would cost about 200 correct?

If this is the case I'd recommend
