I feel no one has complained about the size yet because it's hard to get a real feel without holding the real thing. Besides, videos dont give a good idea of the true thickness of the device. 19mm is always 2 cm, which is pretty damn thick.
I'm just a bit worried if the device is going to come off looking awkward because of the thickness. I sort of want this phone to become my everyday device too, but I'm afraid the device will bulge out a lot from my work pants or evening go-out jeans.

If you want to put this into perspective.
N95 8gb is 99x55x21mm
N900 is 110x59.8x18(19.55)mm
My Wallet is 110x85x30mm
Both the N95 and Wallet have been in my jeans for a number of years.

Unfortunately, this topic is not going to go anywhere on this forum. The fanboy's don't even want to admit that the N900 could be considered 'thick' lol.

I have held the n900 in the store, in the year 2009 it is thick and the weight doesn't help. I'm willing to put up with the thickness because of the features but I'm sure many other people will not.

- camera. Need for decent night/flash shots
- tomtom. OVI maps is no where near capable. Read this experience from a Maemo developer
http://mer-l-in.blogspot.com/2009/10...we-can-do.html
- might need to carry an extra battery. Hard to say at the moment

I have not yet heard any evidence based reasoning on the implication that Nokia did NOT do as good a job as they could have done, other than comparisons with other devices that seem to have similar capability, which on closer inspection are not similar at all.
Don't get me wrong, I would love the N900 to be more pocketable. But NOT if its at the expense of the great features it has, features where YMMV.
