Helio Fin is Thinnest Flip Yet
Warning For Texters
I had the gsm version of this model and wanted to let people know about the touch sensitive keypad. The touch sensitive keys samsung is using make texting very cumbersome and slow. There's no click or feel to touching the key like other flat keypads, in my experience this led to many errors in typing. In my experience, the trade off of thin for frustration wasn't worth it. The display and everything else are pretty nice but for speed texters I'd try before buying.

true, but with all the info already given out, it doesnt seem like the fin has touch sensitive keys anywhere.

I have the m610 with these same keys and I have no problem texting quickly on the thing.

Similar, I have the a727 and after using it for abit, I find I have little problems.

It's based in the D830 and the whole keypad is touch sensitive with no vibration feedback. I know you always say samsung can do no wrong tuolumne as you probably work for them. I'm just trying to let people know of my experience based on using the handset this one is designed from. I just want people to try before they buy since it's a different type of keypad most are not used to. I'm not for or against samsung, i've owned many so I'm not here to get into a my phone can beat up your phone type of discussion which I often see you leading users into. I'm just sharing my experience and opinion.
