And you missed the point of MY post.

1. You were an apple fan way before the iPhone4 came out. During that time, when you still owned an iPhone 3GS, you made fun of N900's thickness too. My point is some people carry the N900 nude..in which case, according to you, they need 'super baggy pants'. At that time too, most people would buy some sort of protection for their iPhones, which would mean they need 'super baggy pants' too.

2. Wallet is thicker and many things are thicker. 18mm is not thick at all when compared to most things you put in your pocket (excluding phones). So if you don't need 'super baggy pants' for them you won't need it for the N900. This idiocy with thinness has got to stop. If it feels comfortable, and fits well in my pocket: it's perfect. And the N900 feels much more comfortable than the iPhone 3GS ever felt. And guess what, since we're taking cheap shots, I can hold it whatever way I want. How's that for comfort?

3. Size is not an issue, and even if it is, it is not that big a deal. I agree, it looks enormous but it feels very comfortable and fits my normal sized pockets very well. And that is all that matters. Not to mention the fact that this thing is a tank. it survived 3 strong falls (up till now) without a scratch..I couldn't find one!

If you had complained about weight.. I would have agreed. But size??

why didn't you post that picture in the first place?

imo it is the most stupid thing in the world to do: compare touch only device to qwerty physical kb device...

e: now I got it. you only want to make n900 look bad for some bizarre reason....

@pantera: original post edited further to address your concerns.

I beg to differ...

No, I took up Pantera's challenge and played his game. My initial post was just a reaction to all the "walk 5 steps" "look at the stars for guidance" "compass is unnecessary" remark.

Unfortunately most users here tend to get caught up with the technical details than actually getting the point.

It's like talking with a child.. I give up. You are rightl The N900 is the worst thing since Hitler.

it is still stupid. they(no hw kb vs qwerty) have very different footprint and all my kudos to motorola crew. they just showed that 3gs and 4 iPhones are just bricks full of air....

+1 for digital compass - new augmented reality apps are going to suffer, and in more immediate concerns I may use the gps to navigate, but will stop, then look at phone -- it may not be clear which way to go.

Or parked in car park/side road and having to decide whether to turn left or right.

IMO a compass is extremely useful..

+1 for holodeck

talking about that, we need to be able to reroute power from life support to the forward shields and vice versa, and don't forget about the ability to reverse the polarity, and also, send a message in all frequencies
