qwerty is not my liking, when it comes to flip or vertical sliders..

i like motorola krave zn4 a lot.. dr. muff was using one on reliance, requested him to sell it to me but he denied because the phone was not that good cosmetically, when he changed..

I used to own a Sidekick LX 2009 with working 3G and its swivel screen is kick ***. Nothing beats it in the world, when it comes to flip phones and its a total show off. Only let down is that it's OS was discontinued long time ago and was based on a cloud service which cannot be accessed from a different region except US.

To my knowledge one choose flip if one type and text a lot.I wished a same flip cell 6 months ago. I got htc touch pro 2 (flip) and htc imagio (only touch).

In three months of use i felt that i rarely use keyboards and with a bit of practice typing go well in > 3.5 inch screen. Moreover i have 3 cells which work perfectly but the ribbon/flex cable. Flip phone will soon demand a flex cable connecting the screen and keyboard. So i feel its better to go for touch onlt for >3.5 screen rather than a touch + type even if you do lots of text.

^ HTC TP2 is not a flip phone.. its a slider.. horizontal slider to be precise..

Although I am more than happy with photon for its GSM usage but I all always keep an eye out for a nice slider or flip coz tbh I have never used either one.

Been so much into bars,
