It's rather substantial.

Phil, you just wanted to post a Jethro Tull video, didn't you?

I'm a no0b, so what am I looking at exactly? I know it's two cell-phones, and I'm assuming one is the Nexus...

hspa+ version on left, verizon lte version on the right. Looks like more than the supposed .57mm difference

 

[Mooem]

Doesn't look too thick. We're talking what...nearly a half a millimeter difference?

8.94 versus 9.47 ...

Still, thinner than the Droid Bionic.

Rock flute!

 

[reflekt2099]

yeah, c'mon, 8.94 versus 9.47... which is .53mm thicker. just barely a little (.03) over half a millimeter

that's much less than distance between this ---> <--- less than a space

135.5mm x 67.9mm x 8.9mm (GSM)
135.5mm x 67.9mm x 9.47mm (LTE)

I'm in no rush to obtain a minuscule phone. Looks like a slim but solid build.

Actually it's .53 mm thicker, so even less.

oops, i forgot to include the .04 in the calculation, so yes, it's even less. lol good catch

 

[kharrigan]

But is grey... just kidding. Nothing to see here. Move on...

Notice that IMO the GSM version 'tricks' your eyes into seeing a much thinner device at first because of the thinner black stripe down the middle unlike the LTE version being more gray overall.

 

[SpaceHippie]

im actually glad its thicker. Thin phones aren't my cup of tea.

Well and it will seem super thin compared to what we have both have right now.

 

[xAGx#AC]

Is this thickness even that big of a deal? The Droid Incredible 1 is like 11.9 mm, and the Thunderbolt even bigger. 9.47 milliliters seems like nothing at all then. I dont want a piece of paper for a phone.

I personally like the thickness of my Incredible 1, Id rather not feel like its about to snap in half.

Yeah exactly. No reason to get worked up over half a millimeter. It's all good, just release it all ready!

 

[gnipeh]

It looks much thicker than it actually is because you are pretty much comparing too very thin devices together. It would have a much visual effect if you are comparing it with OG Droid...

Also, the color effect mentioned earlier and the contour shape at the back (which I prefer the GSM version, but it is really nit picking)

Yes, and the GSM version looks nicer too IMHO.

Thanks, Robrecht
