Note to thin-phone makers: Just stop already!
Note to thin-phone makers: Just stop already!
While I'll admit readily that thin phones are sexy and a design achievement, I think the whole craze is getting old. Personally I don't think trim handsets are that much more comfortable to carry around or to use. And while they add a bit of fashion to technology, I'm more interested in what's inside the phone and how it works. And in the rush to get smaller and smaller, I wonder if those considerations are taking a backseat. You can blame the Motorola Razr for the trend, as it truly spawned a cell phone revolution. And as I said in CNET's review of the Samsung SGH-T509, we keep wondering if, before long, we'll turn the latest thin handset on its side and it will disappear completely.
