I can't get why someone compares it to the N95 thickness, and says that is ok...
From a design perspective the N95 is uber chubby. The N900 might not be as bad, as it has a bigger footprint, but it's still quite chubby.
Going from my 6500 classic (IIRC still the thinnest Nokia model) to the N900 is going to be hard - but I'm still gonna do it - depending on when it lands "down under".

I've owned a Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard) for a long time, which is 18mm thick (like most HTC phones with keybord), so no problem on my side.

meh. the size doesn't bother me at all. My hands are rather big... so this is a great thing.

I don't know your woman but mine was sold when realizing that she could let her laptop closed in the evenings at home and still get the dose of Internet she wanted.

Then she saw pictures and videos I was taking in that big display and she was impressed. Alright, many of them were featuring our kids and that helped.

I also think many women do appreciate a physical qwerty keyboard. Think of women that bought the E71 or a Blackberry. I think they might be interested in the N900.

All this is talking from my own personal perceptions and opinions. No Nokia marketing research info in this post.

By sheer texting my niece wore the button ink off of the E70 I gave her. Hmmm... she might go for an N900 if the key characters don't come off!

Ok, I'll bite. I wish it was thicker.

The battery in it is, IMHO way too small, so I'm hoping Mugen makes a 3.6Ah (or so) battery and expanded backplate for it, making it even thicker.

But then, I've always been inclined to bigger and especially thicker devices; I view the recent fascination with thinness in phones, laptops (the pinnacle of which must be the MacBook Air), and more or less everything else electronic as a pathology, although it does seem to be waning these days.

Btw, what kind of adapter plug does the n900 use? Is it the same as n800\n810?

Seems like from what I've seen, both data and power will be done with micro-USB on N900. It's kind of a shame since I have so many devices that use mini-USB and now I have to carry two different USB cables...

Just get an adapter to use with your USB mini cables, it takes virtually no space.
Like that one : here

The added weight might be an advantage if you have the wind against you while tossing the phone.
