WHY! Why does HTC keep making things thicker?! The touch was the perfect thickness and had 1100maH battery. That lasted me the whole day.
The damn sprint touch diamond has more real estate to stretch a thin battery, but instead they make it fatter and completely turn me off.. and for what? 200mah extra? pfft.
And now the Opal, while not as fat as the diamond, is still fatter than the touch.
LISTEN HTC! THIN IS IN! If its fatter than a 1st-gen iPhone... it's just a paper weight to me. i await the day they make phones with slideout keyboards as thin as the HTC Touch, yet strong enough to not crack in half when using them. Technology is soooo slow.
I agree that they need to stretch the batteries more. My HTC Advantage has a 2200 MaH battery and it's quite thin and not longer or wider than a Touch. The design should start with the battery. Imagine an original Touch the exact same size with a 2200 battery. You'd get like 3 or 4 days easy with moderate usage.
Not everyone wants a thing phone. People need to realize that.
I meant thin, not think lol.
Touchflo 3D on a QVGA screen? Interesting...I wonder if it could be ported to the Tilt.
destined to fail
How do you know it's thicker? The specs weren't on the PDF that was posted.
You can see from the pic... they have added the stylish iPhone curve and butt to the back...
