Thats one thing that boggles me.. I've never heard a single person go "Y'know, this phone is nice..but I wish it was thinner and more fragile".

I'm convinced they just want to make phones thinner, and push screens further to the edge (or in the case of Galaxy, around the edge and down the side) just to make them more likely to break when dropped.
