[citation][nom]Vladislaus[/nom]I fail to see the point in the phone being 7mm thick. I think it would have been better that the phone was 10mm and they filled that extra space with a battery.[/citation]
Samsung have always endevoured to have thinner phones, even in the dumbphone era, I used to own a Samsung U100, 5.9mm thin and it was brilliant. Sure the battery sucked compared to other phones and the camera was rubbish, the media features laughable, but at the time I only needed a phone to do 2 things, call people or text.
Things have moved on a bit and now people expect their phone to make them a cup of coffee in the morning, wash the car and take the dog for a walk, but the race for thinner and lighter has been entered by everyone including Apple, Nokia and Motorola.
Next stop is the phone like the one Tony Stark has in Iron Man 2.
