Uh....I don't know about that. By that standard you'd also say that a 24
mm or so depth is a new criterion, since that's what most phones have
been. Yet Panasonic, at least, seems to have regained its senses, and
the new P504i is now 99g and 16.8 mm deep (a heck of a lot thinner than
the P503iS's 27 mm).
And I'm not sure that weight has all that much relation to battery
life, anyway; my 73 g F503i does quite well.
