Dimensions?

I know we don't have much to compare it to, but has anyone been able to extrapolate any dimensions of the phone given the new pictures? I could take a swag at, but I remember some individuals with some better software using the the micro-USB port to figure out the thickness of the Bionic based on early pictures.

Best I could come up for thickness was 12.8mm. That is just with a ruler and calculator though.

I'm thinking it will be pretty much the same dimensions (H&W) as the sensation and looks to be about as thick as the bolt.

That's not too far off from my math. Since the screen will be 4.3", I used the pythagorean theorem and scaled each picture. This is what I came up with:

Screen: 2.11" x 3.75"
Overall: 2.543" x 4.852"
Thickness: 11.99 mm (w/o camera bump)

Gawd, HTC can make a slim device even if their life depended on. They have nice designs, but they're such tanks. It's like they don't even try to being down the thickeness m

Is this accurate measurements because if so thats not bad at all close to incredible 2. The only problem with the thunderbolt was it was as thick as my epic which has a keyboard but this is reasonable but honestly I dont care too much about the thickness.

Given how much everyone complains about the plasticky feel of the Samsung phones. Samsung is clearly good at what they do, but not everyone wants a feathery angel wing device. Why try to beat them at their own game? HTC has a reputation for a certain build type, love it or hate it, that they're quite good at.

There's lots of things that irritate me about HTC devices, but it falling apart is typically not one of them!

Keep in mind, too.. this would be 2mm thinner than the Thunderbolt and the thinnest device on the US market is only 3mm less.. and doesn't have an HD screen, doesn't have LTE, etc etc

Those 3mm make a big difference. Also, phones like the Motorola DROID RAZR and Samsung Prime are both similarly spec'd and much slimmer. The Prime is probably somewhere between 9mm and 10mm and the DROID RAZR is between 8mm and 9mm

Another thing is just because a device is slim, it doesn't mean it can't have good build quality. Like I said, I like HTC'S hardware, just wish they made them slimmer considering how big the devices are getting.

Htc can't make high quality buttons: power, volume. I think the battery life will suck =(

I won't claim that it's accurate, but I was as precise as I could be. If anyone feels like trying to duplicate it to see if you get the same result, I did a print screen of the pictures of the front and top and pasted them into paint, and turned on the ruler. Since we "know" that it will be 4.3" diagonally and 1280 x 720, even without a picture you can calculate the screen dimensions. I did some math using that as the scale to get the overall width & height. Then you have to account for the difference in scale between the pictures to get the thickness. It could be a bit off because a few pixels on the screen could make a little difference.
