OK I thought you were referring to just their Japanese phones. I didn't
realise Nokia was first. OK I was wrong there.

hmm - I don't have you checked the 1301S? It is approx the same size as the
SO504 but the 1301S has dual panels, camera, so that particular kisekae
phone is not so thick. Though some people think the SO505 is "thick" & maybe
it is I haven't compared all the 505's size.

I didn't mean a multi-coloured LED but was referring to the 1101, which has
a very broad illumination panel & combined with the covering kisekae's
design & see through pattern (how much light it lets through), the user can
setup different illumination patterns via the combination of colour,
flashing sequences & panel itself. I think this is pretty unique.

I was referring to this particular phone's movie player capability, not just
AU or DoCoMo. Actually the movie playback quality & level of ezmovie support
(light vs normal & which size) is extremely variable across the AU
movie-keitai range. Well if you see this 5402S phone, you'll know what I
mean hopefully.

I think that's a generalisation - not all their phones are fat. You could
say the same thing about other manufacturers phones - some are fat some are
not so fat.
