I'm starting to revert to this thinking more and more which is probably related to my demands when it comes to a smartphone.
With any choice there is some sort of compromise. If you want thin, then the first thing you'll probably notice is diminished battery life. Want a QWERTY keyboard, well then you'll have to cut down on your screen requirements. Want both, then you'll need a bulkier device. Running these sites, I have the unique opportunity to try a variety of devices. As a consumer, it's a tough decision given the 2-year contracts that comes standard with any phone.
