Body actually thinner than 11mm?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the device body is actually even thinner than 11mm. Why? Because the size is usually measured by the thickest part of the device, which in this case is the popping out camera. Think I already mentioned that somewhere...or maybe in another forum, never mind.
You can clearly see on the "Specification" part at the HTC website (picture of side of device) that the camera is the popping out. Just zoom in the picture.
What I just saw and what strenghtens my thought: The website includes the camera in the 11mm! So the "body" could be 10mm or even less.
Here is a zoomed in picture of what I mean. It's from HTC's website, I just added the red line. What do you think?
I'm also wondering why nobody actualy measured the size in any of those previews...

As mentioned somewhere else......it´s not so much the size, that matters....it´s the performance......

It's a lean mean ppc machine

(Yeah, saw that ^^)
Yeah, with emphasis on "so much" ^^
If that device was 18mm thick nobody would've be that much interested. Even with 14mm it would still be unattractive because of its total size.
And even now, people are wondering if the device isn't too big for them. Making it even thinner could resolve those manners.
And maybe there are more people like me who try to imagine what it could feel like to hold that device in the hand, maybe also with building a paper model of it ^^ So 1-2mm thinner device feels a lot more comfortable =)
AND almost every preview compares the thickness, so it IS somehow important. ^^

Agree with Kabakara,
I already built a model from paper

gotta love the thin slim look... I wouldn't have gone HD2 if it was 14mm or thicker..

its called the Nexus S, well according to Best Buy anyway..

Very cool, would love to see some specs on this

exciting!

the "original" cache disappeard?
mistery

PLEASE let this alleged hardware issue be the addition of a trackball/trackpad and a better casing than cheap plastic that gizmodo reported.
Let this be a standalone phone and not a Galaxy S with Stock Android.

i think i read on giz that it will be plastic. think i may wait for nexus 3

word...
Google needs some damn designers...lol. People with vision...the Nexus S/2 should looked like the HTC ONE concept some design student mocked up...with a few additions for usability.

You guys know Google doesnt' actually design phones right?
They basically call up sony/htc/apple/samsung and ask what new platforms/devices they have coming up. The respective companies show them a line up, google bids on them, and then they tweak it slightly (color/finish/very minor hw changes).

Cool, so rumour was true I hope it will be released soon...

I really hope it lives up to the nexus name. Not just a galaxy-S running stock android with an unlockable bootloader...

yay! coming soon with Gingerbread. 4 inch screen with trackball please.

The Nexy looks a way lot better than this. Atleast that's my opinion.

Interesting model

Hi guys, I saw this interesting model, does anyone have it?

Sorry for previous post (now it's edited). I turned off image loading so i didn't see the image. Now i understand the question and no i never saw a g3 like this. I'm not sure if this is a real picture... look at the buttons... they are quite "strange"

You cannot say that for sure.... :/

I'm pretty sure I've seen this one before..
Going to do some research
Dympy.

Its not a G3 for sure, look at the touchwiz and even the interface is not the same.

I agree on that but the outside is all the same.... :/

could it be some indian version of the i5801?
http://www.priceindianow.com/samsung-i5801-galaxy-apollo-india-price/

that is a pre production model, those pictures were probably taken when they were doing a preview of the phone, before it was released to market.

Looks absolutely different. I can see Spare Parts, Java Me, Coverter, Dev Tools apps. These were not there when i bought the phone. Looks like a hybrid phone

Nope.
I have the Indian version......

Interface is definetly different..status bar, "touchwiz"....
And two homebuttons...maybe the one what we use as a home button isnt home button.
I dont get it, why isnt there normal touchwiz, we are using

Maybe it's chinese copy?

Its a prototype of the galaxy3...samsung decided to shed some of those buttons to make it look better and cut costs

[Q] Generic Galaxy Note mobiles from Ebay

Hi
These phones look and pretty much have the same model number as the Galaxy note, would they run the Galaxy Roms ?

hahaha Andrews operating system...
i've seen quite a number of these knock offs a plenty especially in Asia, especially the fruit phones...
usual dual sims, tv tuner and the best... the phone has a telescopic antenna for receiving tv signals... nyahahaha

Thanks guys I already have a note, I wanted something to mess about with rather than fork out for another note, cheers for your help

I love some of the wording in the description, plus some strawberries make it look nicer.

it is pretty easy to find the informations now

if the fingerprint scanner goes in the back, it kills it for me. Whatever happened to integrating it in the screen?

Absolute agree to this. What about having the phone on the table and typing, browsing.
I hope it is just an experiment and it's gonna be revised on the 9 series.
