Wow, I've always been disappointed with the lateral stiffness of my phone. I'll have to take that into consideration. What are the weight savings like?

How much more black could it be and does it go to 11?

I don't know about the weight savings but I hope it has more lateral stiffness and is more vertically compliant; that might save it from any future drops. But yes it is carbon, lol WTF! Now my jersey pocket will be more vertically compliant... its nice to know 
I do agree with the statement about true roadies not carrying phones... What do you carry? (a phone card), or do you HTFU and carry a tin can with 100 miles of string in case of emergency

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Are you sure it's carbon and not just some printing?

A roadie wouldn't care about his phone.

I had no idea true roadies don't carry phones. Good thing I carry my blackberry. I think there's a phone on it, but I have no idea how to get to it.
