I'd like to see T-Mobile offer up a hybrid device, one that will pump out a tradtional signal like this as well as WiFi. That way I could still use my nice thin handsets and not have to use those enormous bricks they offer for the @Home service.
Wow you PR guys are quick! So perhaps you wouldn't call it a brick, but in an age where most guys put their phones in their pockets, rather than in some kind of belt holster, .8 inches is thick in my opinion. Hell, my 619 is a little thick for me, but I'm dealing with it because my 509 is broken at the moment. All I'm saying is that these are the first two phones out of the gate, and we all know Samsung and other handset makers can and will do better. Just as I'm sure Apple will do much better with iPhone 2.0.

At 1.9 inches wide, 3.5 inches tall and .8 inches thick I wouldn't necessarily call the Samsung T409 (one of the supported @home phones) a brick.
