Oh I know all about the infobar - and welcome it as a sign that
someone, somewhere, is trying to move the market on through design
rather than features.
I guess it will appeal to the same crowd that bought that wierd
sony/erricson clamshell (the orange / blue one).
But it is "thin" in the same way that my P504i clamshell is thin when I
open it. It's too long for a back pocket (sit on it and you would break
it) and definitely too long for a trouser front pocket ( "... or are
you just pleased to see me...?") 11mm it may be, but it is still a
hefty phone.
So a good attempt - but not up to the standards of my old F209 (I think
that's what it was) for pocketability.
I hope that in terms of features QVGA screen, 2megapixel cameras and
memory cards will mark a plateau and that in future manufacturers will
try to differentiate themselves through styling, thinness, etc etc.
for those who have not seen the infobar, here it is...
