Please could someone categorically say what dimensions the Universal has.
I have seen two sets of varying dimensions. Which ones are correct?
http://www.eprice.com.tw/news/?news_id=2913
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125564
ONE: MM (Inches) Length: 127.7 (5.03) Width: 81.0 (3.19) Depth: 25.0 (0.98) (That is THICK!)
TWO: MM (Inches) Length: 131.6 (5.18) Width: 79.0 (3.11) Depth: 21.6 (0.85)
Two Reports of Weight: g. (oz.): 270.0 (9.52) or 210.0 (7.41)
Also, anybody have some close-up size comparison pics with a Himalaya or Blue Angel, in particular, thickness?
Thanks.

OK - here's what happened.
Official specs were released by HTC - and propogated by T-mobile. These gave the dimensions as 131.6 x 79 x 21.6 mm and a weight of 210g.
Later these specs were revised and now T-mobile, Orange and O2 all give the dimensions as 127.7 x 81 x 25 mm.
An O2 Powerpoint presentation was leaked that gave the weight as 270g. Now, however, O2, T-mobile and Orange all give the weight as 285g.
Until someone actually measures and weighs it in a review, therefore it is:
127.7 x 81 x 25 mm and 285g according to all trustworthy official sources.
The full known specs are given in the VGA Comparison page linked in my sig at the bottom of my post.

Nope, I've just measured mine and it is:
TWO: MM (Inches) Length: 131.6 (5.18) Width: 79.0 (3.11) Depth: 21.6 (0.85)

That woud make the original specs provided by HTC correct (in terms of dimensions at least). Which makes one wonder where they got the second set of specs from?

Thanks buddy! Just what I was after. :D
Looks pretty damn big! :shock:
Think my Himalaya is the max size I will go for in a phone.
The Universal looks too THICK.

I agree. I'm waiting for the Wizard so see how big that is. If I couldn't cope with that no way I'd have a Universal, especially at the price it is.

Here are the images of the Wizard. I agree it looks better as far as size but the processor scares me.

OMG it looks HUGE ! i think they have made a mistake with this one, Good specs but i think its far too big to be practical.
I Own an XDA 2i and that is deffo the biggest phone i have ever had, i have just got used to the size in fact, so there is no way i would go bigger.
On a good note though ... the Wizard looks really interesting, i like the small size of that, more my cup of tea lol, we'll just have to see what the processor performs like :)

Can it really be that big/fat?
