I was more worried about damaging publicity for the n900 crashing sales and Nokia's stock market count because of a little paranoia here.

Check out what the 'average joe' is saying about the Droid form factor (thickness and weight). I can only imagine the response when they see the n900
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10392456-1.html
..."While reviewers have praised the Droid's software, the physical design of the device is a bit clunky. And the device itself is heavier than many other phones in its class. For this reason, among others, Patel said he'd take the weekend to think over his Droid purchase.
"I really don't want to be carrying around a 100-pound block in my pocket," he said. "I can already imagine it weighing down the pocket of my cargo shorts in the summer. So I have to really think about whether I want to lug this thing around for two years."...

If the n900 does not sell well, it could easily be shelved by Nokia bean counters. We need the n900 to appeal to average joes for long term success.

But look I have had this conversation with you before and again I say - why in the name of hell are you still here. Honestly every goddamn post you make is either derogatory towards the device, or comparing it with something else, or asking for the umpteenth time "WHAAA WHAT ABOUT AVERAGE JOE".
Seriously by a goddamn iPhone already, you cant get more idiot, I mean average joe, likable than that phone.
On a final note - what the fudge would you have them do about the thickness of the device now 7 days or less before release? Get out their belt sanders and knock a few millimeters off?

Imagine the disappointment of the lady fooled by your codpiece? You'd better have some good games installed on those phones!
