I'm not sure that sales have proven that people prefer a thinner phone. I know that when I buy a phone, I never look at the thickness specs, just at the height/width. My phone could be another few mm thicker and I wouldn't notice or care -- it would still fit in my pocket either way.
I may end up buying the thinner phone since it has more of the features I'm looking for, but not because it's thinner.
