Now, HTC is making sleek phones like the HD2, nexus one, and Nokia releases the N900.... The keyboard is not an excuse to make it large- see the moto milestone/droid....
Do they make it big on purpose? or "thick"??

Then again they also make sleekers like E72. its the best looking phone ever. Nokia 6700 is also thin tough and sleek. I hope the next maemo device is sleek

RAZRs paid for that thinness with very high hinge failure rates.

They make big phones for people like me. I actually think the n900 is a bit too small.
People who want thin small phones can choose from other Nokia products, or HTC products, or Motorola products, etc.
But there are very few vendors offering as powerful a solution as the n900. Power takes space. That's technology.

Though I think a tear down by tekseven also showed that there was still space that could've been shrunk.

well unless you don't want the 5mp carlz zeiss lens on the n-series then i might be slimmer. Like on the samsung behond on t-mbile it has 5mp looks slimm compare to the n95 but the camera is crappy compare to the n95.
but nokia do make slim phones ... check out the e-series (e71,72,55 so on) ... no one can top that build quality

Alot of devices these days are big, id prefer a big phone that can do all than have a slim device that lacks important things.
Having had N80, N95, N97 etc the N900 isnt too big, but for people coming from a crappy dumb jave phone then it will seem huge.
