Jon:

Management didn't imply, they flat out stated that the thin phone was easier to manufacture--fewer parts (presumably some ASICs combining functions), less production time and, in theory, higher margins.

Everytime I walk by the BAM kiosk with its myriad of wireless phones on display, I ask, "when is the thin phone going to be in". Whether or not I'm the only one asking, the staff is now very quick with a response, as if demand is mounting...(last response--end of May, but I don't necessarily impute knowledge to their guesstimates).

Regards. Steven

They haven't implied it; they have said it, and it is.
