We know you love your cellphones thin and
hopefully, rigid so check the world's thinnest TFT-LCD panel just announced by LG.Philips. Measuring a mere 1.3-mm, the panel is 32% slimmer than the current gen of TFT-LCDs and about 0.2-mm thinner than those ultra-slim OLEDs. The new LCD should allow manufactures to dip below that 6.9-mm crown held by
Samsung's SGH-X820 yet up the display brightness from 300 to 400 nits. So let's see, a conservative 0.6 less of 6.9-mm means we're looking at a 6.3-mm (0.25-inch) thick phone. Hear that Sammy, we'll expect nothing less, er, we mean more.

If this is 1.3mm, then current gen LCDs are about 1.9mm (1.9 - 32% = 1.3). That means you can't expect Samsung to reduce the SGH-X20 to less than 6.3mm from the display alone, not 4.83mm.
Looks like someone didn't do very well at junior high math.

I cannot believe that Engadget[Mobile] would be so irresponsible as to allow the credit card account number AS WELL AS the CID to be so easily read.
Someone asleep at the switch? These is no excuse for this!
