What's with the aversion to thickness?

It allows for bigger batteries, hardware keyboards, additional connectors & storage, etc.

---

I can't speak for everyone: but the pockets in my wardrobe had no problem accommodating feature-phones from pre-2007.

What my pants and shirt pockets can't accommodate are 4.5"+ 1080p displays, regardless of how thin they are.

I will gladly buy a bulkier phone if they make good use of the extra space.



A device that big might make me want to put it on my belt. But, alas, I'm not Batman so I won't do that.
