textSize gets scaled on droid but shouldn't be

I have specified textSize="3mm" but when I run the code on the droid the text is much smaller. I looks like the size has been specified in px. I am using minSdk=4 and anydensity = "true". So it seems like if I ask for 3mm I should get 3mm, right?

Thanks in advance.

There were problem with the Droid display drivers reporting the wrong density. This made units like mm not work properly.

Android recommends using sp (scale independent) units for text sizes. Linky
