I am in no way making an argument for/or against either device when I make this point, but I highly recommend getting hands-on with the Bold before dismissing it as too big. While the overall measurements make it out to be 88xx in size, RIM has done a good job making the phone smaller in your hands. All parts of the phone are beveled to avoid the 'brick in your hand' feeling.
Of course the Jav/Curve form factor is small(er), but the Bold is not the giant people make it out to be.
