Lumia 810 is super thick

I'm pointing out that a device's ability to survive an impact isn't determined solely by weight. There is a lot of engineering involved.

You are the one that claimed that it was as simple as a heavy device breaking easier.

I then gave an example that proves that it isn't as simple as Heavy=Breaks easier.

Then you come along and give another example that proves ME right because a hammer would be more durable than a cup of coffee. :lol::lol::lol:

This isn't rocket science. But it does take a little common sense.

I could had use a feather an a concrete block, it would still won't prove anyone point because those are different materials. It's a dumb comparison that doesn't translate over the point that a lighter smartphone will suffer less damage than a heavier one upon a fall.

My point is that it's not just about weight. You're attempting to simplify something that isn't that simple.

With these devices, there's a lot of engineering that goes into it. There's also a balancing act they have to play with many different factors.

To conclude that a lighter object will take less damage in a fall when dealing with these complex devices is just plain wrong.

I saw the hands on. Is hideous beyond belief.

Thats great your hideous beyond belief is not everyone else's hideous beyond belief.

It's not marketing. It is the bell curve or equilibrium for phone size that is being raped by Nokia. Back in the days of 2 inch screens, phones could be thick and still easily fit in your pocket. As screens sizes increased, there was a need for the engineers to shave off that screen size increase in other areas to maintain the general fit in your pocket size.

Nokia is just throwing that out the window by increasing screen size without reducing it anywhere. That equals phones that look huge. For example, you can't really notice that the Lumia 800 is quite thick because the other dimensions are small, but when they magnified that thickness by increasing the other dimensions without reducing the thickness, they created a monster.

They should have just taken out wireless charging and some other fancy technology to reduce the thickness IMO.

No what they have done is a design feaature to keep the camera lens assembly totally inside the device shell instead of having it protrude several millimeters above or below the body. The measurement of phones that have camera protrusions are generally measured at the thinnest point not the thickest.

And I dont think that Nokia is raping anything with their design if you personally dont like it ghen hyou dont like ut what Nokia has done is not a crime of violence against you or anyone else if you dont like it you dont like it. Nothing more nothing less buy a thin WP8 device or your choice there are plenty of them out there.
