so sad. look how thin phones have become "hot stuff"
ericsson should've continued building on the T28 and T66
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA

6.9mm...
I'm not a huge Samsung fan, but credit to them for somehow squeezing some decent features in there as well.

Haha... I'd like to be able to feel my phone you know. At least I know it's still in my pocket. One of these days, they're gonna make mobile phones so small that they'll just fall out through the seam in your pockets. Heh...
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I think Samsung are getting excessive with the amount of 'thin' phones. Sure thin is nice, but too thin and your hand'll cramp from txting too much IMO perfect thickness is 13-15mm, at least the phone doesn't feel like a wafer stick!

anyone got any specs for this phone?

i'd love to look at how well it can use these features... but surely the 2mp camera, although 2mp won't be as good as other 'thicker' phones with a 2mp camera???
