The Galaxy S II does not have the same thickness across the entire profile of the device. My question is, is the 8.49mm stated thickness at the thinnest point or thickest point or is it some average?
The thickest point appears to be at the base where there is a lump on the back of the phone (similar to original Galaxy S). There is also a lump where the rear camera is.
Well, I will not flame this question, but will merely state that as an average from the center its probably 8.49 mm. The thickest point being the bottom where the bulge is, might take it to 8.74 mm.

@dhruvmalik: Thank you for taking the question seriously. I was actually thinking about a home project where I needed an Android based smartphone that would fit in a 9mm slot. If the phone's spec was 8.49mm at it's thinnest part and over 9mm at it's widest then this would not cut the job hence the question. It's a shame that other people need to respond with flames and tarnish the friendly reputation of this forum site . Until just now, I've experienced nothing but high levels of helpfulness.

No problem, but for the future sake, it might be helpful if you state that you need specific requirements as far as fitments and hence you are asking such a question.
Otherwise it just makes you look silly to find out whether this phone is 8.49 MM or 9.0 MM.

Not sure your link's allowed under forums rules as you're advertising for someone you know.
Anyways, I like your case. Having a unique case is certainly cool. I've been making my own leather case, as at the time I started there weren't many available (a lot more now I know). It's taking forever to make as hand-stitching leather is a real pain and also have time contraints. Here's a pic attached of the front cover, unassembled atm.

Whoa Mozilla labs has plans to build their own OS based on android. Its just a concept right now but its crazy to see how far technology could go. The original article was on gizmodo but I thought id share since were all bored and arguing around here anyways. I looked for this before I posted it and couldn't find anything similar in the 3D section.
Here's the video.

Edit: This is my first time hearing about this, i guess im late to the party lol. *facepalm*
That video has been around for a while but the news about them building an OS using Android is new. Sounds like a UI on top of Android to me though.

Ahhh yeah does sound like a custom UI sort of like sense but the article said they arent adopting java; could be interesting. I know im late i barely found that video lol.
If that thing was ever built, it'd be the most expensive smartphone that has ever existed, haha.
Can't imagine the battery life on that thing.
I saw that about a year ago and I don't think we are much closer to it being realistic. It looks amazing but I think we are years away from anything close to that.

Although they don't have the same sensor technology for typing and stuff, you have been able to order phones with built in PICO projectors from overseas forever. I own a Pico projector seperately and it is awesome. Not much bigger than the 3VO. Well, like 3 times thicker, but can fit in your pocket.
Again, they've been making them for years overseas, so why the have to pretend being able to project your phones screen on to the wall is some future concept is silly. I know it has a lot more features than that, so it is a concept phone. But I just think it's interesting that projector part has such a wow factor when they are made everyday.
This is from CES 2009. A Samsung phone for Korea:

What's with all the hating seriously I know the background of what happened, but that is a battle between the dev's why is the community getting involved in this. Many of the good developers threads are being rated low and I know its is the users who rate them badly all the synergy threads were rated low and at one time they were 3 stars, the AOSP port which is flawless except for sound and camera is rated 4 star! C'mon these people take their time to build these things for us and this is how we repay them? / rant [my opinion is that they should all be 5 stars]!
I agree that people should not hate on devs or takes sides based on the dev alone all the devs here are great and work very hard for the fun of it. However, some roms deserve better ratings than others, otherwise why have a rating system.

Try to use punctuation to separate your sentences. I can't understand what you are saying when you deliver it in stream-of-consciousness.

true, but all the synergy roms are great, and also the AOSP port. Some got rated low after all the drama before that they were five stars. Just saying, I'm sure this bothers some of the developers [rating system]

Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).
Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?
Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.
I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol
The choice is obvious
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

This thread makes my insides hurt from sadness.
Not to mention, every time an android user switches to an iPhone, God kills a kitten.
Please reconsider, for the kittens.
Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this in and couldn't do it from an edit despite my best efforts.

why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?
I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.

I don't see why anyone would go apple. No customization ,no external memory ,basically bland apple and worst of all you only get what daddy apple says you can have.

Wish you luck. Everyone is different. It's Important everyone is comfortable with what they have.
Thread Closed, please go and use one of the other threads in OT to discuss all iphone 5 (Kitten Killer Phone) topics.
All the "help me decide" threads are getting really old and they're cluttering the board. You should be able to compare specs yourself and determine what fits you best. If you have some unfortunate disability which prevents you from comparing specs here is is a nifty tool for you.
If you have compared the specs and are having trouble making up your mind, I have constructed this handy-dandy flowchart.

If you still don't know what you want, I suggest choosing a phone at random because a bunch of random people on the internet aren't going to make a better decision than yourself.
If you are wondering about possible new features gained from 3rd party ROM development (CM, AOSP, AOKP, etc) just buy a Nexus 4. Never buy a phone expecting to get new features in the future. Buy a phone and never expect more than what's in your hand.
Hope this helps clean up the board.
AHAHAHAHAHA epic! i was going to do one of these!
Hahahahaha, i love the "Do you Like Sense?" --> "Yes" ---> "Wrong answer." Brilliant.
I think theres one important factor there that should fit in up there next to the Nexus 4, While the Nexus 4 is a very nice phone it wasnt an option for me because it only has 16gb of storage which unfortunately ruled it out because I dont live in the cloud (Not now, and not for a very long time)
As for Sense I'm going to get shot for actually kinda liking it arent i? and yes I've had stock Android, my last phone was a GSM Galaxy Nexus, I think stock android is awesome but I dont think Sense 4 is that shabby...I kind of like some of the interface over stock to be honest... and between the two skinned Android versions I've used I'll take Sense over TouchWiz
This chart is good and also funny I'm also one of those with the wrong answer.. I just got spoiled by some of the nifty features and aesthetics since having the HTC Desire, and it was my first ever Android phone. It's not perfect though, I wish Sense retained some of the slick animations from stock Android, got rid of the 3D cube Rosie animation, and that stock snappiness.. heh, that is why I'll also be flashing stock ports in the future, as I did with my Desire
Path to Nexus 4 is too straightforward. There are more obstacles on it.
At least it has double fragility due to glass on both sides. Probably even more since glass extends up to the rim (for example SGS III is pretty fragile due to that reason) while One X(+) has thicker border on top and bottom.
So path to Nexus 4 should be only recommended if one is willing to use some kind of additional protection.
