Looks like Samsung is rolling out the big guns and putting everybody on notice in the U.S.
Dont know why they are making clamshells though, everybody wants sliders nowadays.

I agree. Sliders are made to break. Even the best of them.

I don't buy it. Although I was afraid of the same thing when I bought mine (LG MM-535), it turns out that they're actually better able to handle things like being pressed tightly against your ear by your shoulder.

Although they're still kind of new and not many people have them, I have yet to come across a broken slider. Flip phones, on the other hand, I come across all the time.

Think about it. With both a slider and a flip, there are two points where the two pieces connect. With a flip, it's really 2 single, round, small points connected at some sort of hinge. Almost all flip phones work like this. There are a few exceptions such as some of the Sanyos, but they seem to break even more often.

Slider, on the other hand, are connecte...

Clamshells make up the largest portion of cell phone sales each year. I like them and would never go back or swith to another form factor. Personally, I think slider phones are too fragile (having owned one myself).

I don't see clamshell sales going anywhere but up, so I say keep 'em coming.

I agree, although I prefer the candybar form factor myself. I don't want to swivel, slide, or flip anything. I just want to take the phone out and put it to my ear.

U might have a point on sliders breaking. I myself own a flip at the moment, and like the convience of sliding it into a case which is attached to my belt. Ive seen how candybars are handled(purse or pockets) and me myself, could never own one. I could only imagine how sliders could fit in my small case, could they? Ive also noticed that sliders are more featured packed as of late. Well as u can see im still debating. 😉

I've grown accustomed to candybars due to my fondness for Nokias. They're durable and easy to use, and they've pretty much set the standard for me. I do, however, like flips...but I'd never buy a swivel or slider simply because they're impractical.

Don't think so. The 940 does, but it's a much bigger phone.
