I think the thinness, relative narrowness (compared to the razr anyway) and slight curve will make the one truely outsized dimension on this phone (height) a relative non-issue. I would be far more concerned if it were thick or wide than tall.
OK. I'll quit my whining. I think you may be right. The extra height may be offset by the thinness and the curve. I like curves and curvy things.
What I really want is a very small phone that I can use but it has the "mutitouch - pinch to zoom" feature for the whole phone. I zoom it out and the whole phone gets bigger...pinch the fingers together and the phone gets smaller. How about that trick. I'm not sure that as smart as these phones are that they can overcome the laws of physics though.
