That back cover looks like it's had lots of use, considering how old it would be...
Why can't it just be a laser etched back of another phone?
Seeing as the SGOLD3H is reported to have the same limitation of screen resolution then it'll have the same ratio of length and width of screen as current iPhone. Simple enough to check that.
130mm across
75mm at 300%
that's a ratio of 1.73 Assuming a bunch of things (e.g. resolution up to edge of display).
iPhone is currently 480-by-320-pixel resolution at 163 ppi with a ratio of 1.5
Not out enough given my margins of error.
Well that would just be awesome! If you look, the top earpiece area and home button area are thinner, meaning the screen is wider given the same phone size. And your 1.73 is pretty close to 16:9 screen proportions which are 1.778. The old 1.5 aspect was a total butt - f... of a screw up. Doesn't match any video resolution whatsoever.
So I don't know what people dont' like about it. Screen, bigger and 16:9. Phone stays same size. Adds 3G. Non scratch easy silver back. Less chrome.
