In fact recent phone models have gotten less comfortable to hold for me because of thinness.

I think users would be happier day-to-day with a larger battery, but in the ATT showroom they are more likely to go for the thinner phone with a small battery and no headphone jack.

Nobody seems to consider that the extra space can be used for a bigger battery instead of a smaller phone.

"Damn, I wish this phone was as thin & durable as a graham cracker, so that I can put it in my pocket all day"
I wish they would stop trying to shave millimeters off my phone thickness and address actual user needs like battery life. When was the last time any of you said, "Damn, I wish this phone was thinner!"? Probably never. But many of us regularly bemoan the battery life of our devices.
