Do you think Android phone is quite big for ladies taste?
Take a look HTC Legend, it could be perfect, 3.2" screen ... but the actual size is not that different compare to HTC Desire with 3.7" screen.
I was offering my wife to use Android (she is using HTC Touch Dual, 2.8") and she said "No, it is too big for me".
There could be smaller Android device, but I prefer 1GHz processor and 2.1 Android. Oh well, probably I have to wait ... if Not never.

Hahaha ... That's good, isn't it? Because Android (device) is big.
Anyway, but that's true. I found most my female friends don't care much about the OS. Size and looks of the device are more important for them.
Of course your experience will be different
So, I think, HTC must come up with Android device that appeals to female audience. Smallish, not masculine look, and not heavy.
Droid or Milestone for example, this is masculine look, boxed (rectanglish) design, black / silver ... compare to HTC Desire brownish one.

Well - I just ordered myself a Milestone. I guess I like my gadgets the way I like my men. 
My current phone is a red Treo btw. So I wanted android because of some cool apps I have seen and I wanted a physical keyboard. Not so many choices then. The Touch HD phone I got myself looks nice but is very awkward to use since it has no keyboard.
Now I'm busy refreshing the tracking page at DHL.

I have a Droid and I love it! I don't think it's "too big", it's just right He's still nakey though and I can't decide on a case! It's driving me insane...

I'm a lady! The time came for me to pick a new phone, and I was leaning towards an iphone, but 5 minutes with my friends Hero and the rest is historty.I made the right choice in retrospect, I don't like the physical look of the iphone and Android is waaaaay more customisable. :-D
I have had my Droid for about 3 weeks. I like it but am having some regrets on not going with the iphone. I am really disappointed in the lack of apps . Every time I look for one I would like they have it for the iphone but not the droid.
I don't tinker with a cell phone so that option isn't something I have an interest in but would like more function. I have the 2.1 update but again other than the voice text function. moving home screen isn't that interesting for me..
I will hold on to this little guy but will seriously look at the iphone once it comes to Verizon.
Anyone else feeling like me ???

I had an iPhone and tried it for a year..ended up hating it. I needed to feel the buttons. Went to Crackberry but it was a Crapberry...so now Im with the Back Flip. It has best of both...buttons I can feel, themes, touch screen and works with my Mac.
I actually found the iPhone boring...there was no way to really make yours unique.
Crenita, do you like to "feel" the keyboard? Im a huge texter...and that is important to me. Its all down to a personal choice. I have friends who thought I was nuts for giving up on the iPhone.
