Saw the new Fold at Verizon today. I'm not sure that I like a taller device. The current Fold fit in some of my hiking shirt pockets allowing the velcro or snap closures to work. Taller will probably interfere with that security.
What does the new form factor buy? Better Video playback dimensions? Better side by side apps? They must have been aiming for some specific improvement in changing the dimensions. Or did they need the taller unit to stuff the innards with necessary electronics when making the unit skinnier. Clearly, from some comments they rearranged the Qi antenna for some reason - again to accommodate needed internals???
