I'm eyeing the GPD Win Mini right now. It's not out yet and I'm waiting for reviews but it looks like a comfy small handheld with great specs. Not quite a phone form factor but it's close enough. May be close to what you're looking for.
looks.
Ooh, that's neat! My only complaint looking at it is that they didn't figure out some place to put a right-side thumbpad for a better mouse-mode. Joystick mouse emulation is a miserable solution, and the central thumbpad is too far for gaming (ask anybody who played Mario 64 or Metroid Hunters on the DS). My dream machine would be to use the old Blackberry trick of making the right-side of the keyboard able to masquerade as a touchpad (you literally run your thumb along the keyboard and it's a pointing device), add a face-toggle-button to switch between mouse-mode and keyboard mode, and then add a scrollwheel shoulder-button.
