It would be a mistake to reduce the thickness and keep the same plastic build, the phone will slip out of your hand constantly. I really don't like the plastic build of the S2 in the first place (I couldn't use it without the case attached cos it feels so greasy/glossy in the hand) but if they made it thinner without improving material quality then it would be a downgrade.
I know they're doing it to keep the phone light, but they should be using better plastic or even metal. The HTC Sensation has much much better build quality than the S2.
What I want from the Galaxy S3:
- High res display - 300+ ppi
- Better build quality - lightweight grippy, durable plastic/metal alloy
About the ergonomics issue - i think the width of the phone is more of an issue than the slimness, more people seem to think that thinner = better but dont like the fact that the phone is really wide so hard to hold in the hand. I dont find it an issue though

Oh yes, 300+ PPI is a must for the display but I don't see how they are going to change the material from plastic to metal/glass and keep the weight although I would prefer another I want metal/glass.

I'm not a fan of the bendy form factor but that is sure to be a rumour, would be very suprised if it actually came through
@skblakee
Yeah, its just not the same as the iPhone 4 display, I have to zoom in on Esato news articles to read them. I loved being able to read a whole page in desktop layout with Retina display.
I agree with you that they will probably stick with the same old plastic they are using atm so they can market the phone as 'the slimmest and lightest phone on the planet. "
Titanium alloy and it would be perfect

That looks horribly fake and a terrible version of an Apple / Samsung love child.
