Looks thick to me, compared to the EVO:
Slider keyboard? No thanks. Swype destroys any physical keyboard and it just adds weight and bulk. Even if its only half an inch, its still extra space I dont need. Not to mention its a Samsung, most of their phones are garbage.
Destroys? I think not. It's all a matter of personal preference.
I'd like to see someone reach 55-60+ 100% accurate wpm (consistently)with a random word base using swype like I can on my samsung moment.
I'd like to see a photo that's straight on with a ruler rather than an angular shot.
Angular shots with no object of reference can be very misleading...
...And that evo/epic pic is skewed in the evo's favor. You can see the table is angled up to the right.
Here's the Sizeasy comparison of the two phones. Epic is taller and narrower. Evo is shorter and wider. Epic is a touch thicker. Makes zero sense to really bash or hate on one or the other. I liked my Evo. Just hate typing on it, plain and simple. That's why there are options.
I don't think that shot is misleading at all. Look at the following pic and you will see that one end of the Epic is thicker than the other. You can bet that it is the thinner end's measurement that they use in their specifications for thickness.
...Is there something to really gain by slamming it because it has a hump...
Do some research there buddy. Fastest text message ever was done with Swype and there are plenty of people who can type faster with it than a keyboard Ironically on a Samsung phone too
