first hands on review endgadget Verizon version out next week

the lte version is .5mm thicker, I would not call that noticeably thicker by any means.

That's a huge difference for those w/ a penchant for whining ahout specs.

Why are people so worried about the thickness? If you want slim go grab the razr.
Geez...
I'm sure if this was as heavy and big as a tbolt I would get it just because its a nexus.

That's a terrible idea, if they didn't have any reasons to complain. What would they do w/ themselves?
I think it's comical when a few mm is a turn off to some people but I find it absolutely hysterical when the complaints surround, fractional values of a single mm.

You can easily see the thickness difference between the two. But I don't consider it a big deal either, especially considering I never held the GSM version

You also have to figure that most would never hold the gsm version to know the difference though. I look at it this way, it is thinner than my fascinate which is plenty thin IMO.

If it's thinner than the Fascinate then its good enough for me. I thought the Fascinate was incredibly thin.

It's thicker because of an LTE radio and a slightly larger battery. That's just fine by me.

That's my thinking, too. I've never held the GSM version, so it won't phase me. Also, my Thunderbolt is plenty thick -- about 13mm+. Anything under 10mm is more than welcomed.

I had a thunderbolt with an extended battery so anything is thinner than that lol.

I don't think anyone is this thread complained about the thickness. I just wanted to know how it looked which was done via the Verge review. I am ecstatic that is is not that much thicker than the GSM version. When you see the GSM reviews and find out the CDMA version will be thicker, you want to know how much thicker. Simple as that. I have no doubts in the LTE speeds that this device will have.
