Samsung's Armani phone 9.9mm or 10.5mm?
Damian Koh | Sep 27, 2007
Nothing irks us more than seeing different numbers describing the same thing. Since nobody buys a brick for a phone these days (and we don't mean the iBrick), the thickness of a handset becomes an important purchase consideration. But, hello, can Giorgio Armani or Samsung make up their minds on whether the luxury phone is 9.9mm or 10.5mm thick? On the specs, it says the latter, but in the press release it's written as "a mere 9.9mm in thickness". So which is right?
The Giorgio Armani-Samsung phone will be available at Giorgio Armani flagship stores and selected shops in major European countries from November this year. For an undetermined price, you're getting your hands on a triband handset with a full 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen panel, a 3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth stereo, microSD card support and a haptic user feedback interface like the Motorola RAZR2s. Did they just forget us in Asia again?
Update: We've just received news that the Armani phone will be available in Asia early next year and the phone is in fact 10.5mm thick.

Well, technically most people won't be able to feel the 0.6mm difference, but facts are facts yeah? A decimal point, a comma etc can have very different meanings.. What happens if a bank teller keys in a decimal point wrongly, would you go "does it really matter?"

Since when was measuring with a ruler a professional job? Sure, if a bank teller couldn't do his job properly, he'she'd get fired. If a comany can't measure a product properly, you can't fire them can you? :)

Does it really matter? It's only a 0.6 difference. Damian Koh, you always have the worst Crave posts. I'd fire you if I could.
