The N900 is 59.8mm x 110.9mm × 18.0mm (19.55 at thickest) and 181g with a 3.5" WVGA screen and 1320mAh battery.

13.7mm thick vs 19.55 is a big difference.

At first I thought the slider design of the N900 was the reason for the extra thickness but that isn't the case.

This leaves me wondering why the N900 is so thick.
Being this thick but not being able to fit the larger BP-4L 1500 mah battery but managing to fit space for a stylus... and with a UI design requires a stylus maybe 5-10% of the time.... bizarre design decision!
