Why Samsung? Just kill it already.
I could care less if Beyonce is on it or any other entertainer. My issue is that the upstage was a device failed from conception. It's astounding that noone along the way has put the brakes on it.
First the black, then the red, now the burgundy. Instead of making different colors of a phone with severe usability issues, why not make a new device that people can use?

I am glad that both of you dont have a clue about phones and dont decide which phone come to market and which dont. The UpStage has been very successful despite the user challenges, if any. Most phone user want a product that is different and trendy. They dont want the cookie cutter flips, bars and sliders the most manufactures pump out. The UpStage is very powerful in features like data speed, display resolution, music and video playback and overall handset quality. Samsung didnt make that phone for every user but just the ones that were tired of the same old SH** that is out there. I personal dont like the flipping action between the 2 sides and dont like Beyonce even more but I know that Sprint and Samsung will sell many this holida...

Ah, yes, the old flawed thinking that anything different is better. Sure, they'll sell a good number of them, just like they do with many other mediocre products in every industry. However, that does not change that the design has fundamental flaws that should have never gone to production.
The idea looks good on paper, but does not work as implemented. The screens are on the opposite sides for what is needed. Simply reversing that would have made usability a non-issue.
Seeing this and having so many critical reviews from respected websites as well as customers and employees should have told Samsung to go back to the drawing board.
