This device is 14 mm: http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...n&hl=&ie=UTF-8
According to that link the N98 is a 4" screen. That's the upper limit of what i might be able to live with. Bigger is not always better.

But 14mm thick is only 4mm less than the N900 at 18mm - not really too significant and certainly not 1/2 as thick. And if the photo is correct, well...the tilt screen is breakage waiting to happen and the 'handles' on both ends look ugly, in the way and like possibly a waste of space.

If that's really the next Maemo/MeeGo device I'll have my N900 for quite a while, especially if it has a capacitive screen..
