While we are on the topic, slider phones like the one Finray posted, really are the worst kind of phones imo...

I quite like slide phones, very satisfying to hang up a call by slamming the phone down on your hand like they do in the MOVIES

My BB is a slider and its fantastic.  Allows you to have a physical keyboard while keeping a large screen and small form factor.  It makes sense.

I used to have a LG Chocolate slider too, it was a POS so whenever I was bored I would open it by flicking my wrist and only holding the back, making the top slide open.  It was

Ended up throwing it into walls quite a few times though...

The only (non-smart) slide phone I would ever voluntarily own would be this:

And I would look like a douche every time I used it!

Too bad it was only available in the US :<

floppy you'd just look like a fat ginger geek coming out of a stargate convention if you had that phone

i dont get it because the original matrix phone was a really aesthetically advanced (for its day) sliding nokia

why did samsung feel the need to slam it into the death star

That is nothing you can hold against Verizon or At&t. Actually, it would seem that they are trying to prevent a breadline style line by making sure they have enough staffers on hand.


BTW who opened this thread back up? If you delete your own thread it should be gone for good. Especially if it is a sticky. You get one chance to prove you're capable of maintaining a level head. You make everyone pay when you delete the topic because of a few juvenile comments. Unfortunately there is no way to change who starts a topic, and the fact is Finray should have never been given the honour. We should have cut our losses yesterday. It should have been undeleted and closed for reference. modfail

My brother in law has that one. It's thick, but not ridiculously thick.

Personally, I don't like physical keyboards anymore. If you type onscreen for a week you get really comfortable with it. I can type a hell of a lot faster onscreen .. it has a lot to do with predictive text, and how close it is to your fingers.

i've got a BB Storm that i couldn't get used to. i'm liking droid marketplace so much better anyways, i'm not unhappy with the switch.

The storm is/was notoriously problematic with the screen and responsiveness.

I actually had an old htc phone back when I was running on windows mobile. It was also touchscreen and was absolutely horrible. I ended up virtually giving it away. I think it was way underpowered. That was about 2006 and shit has come a long way since then.

yeah the storm really shouldnt have been made.  thankfully theyve learned from their mistake.

ive had an iphone, samsung instinct (touchscreens) and now the torch and can say without doubt that i like the physical keyboard much, much more.  way better accuracy and speed, plus the ability to feel the keys and therefore type without looking.  predictive text is on every smartphone... and keys arent far apart at all on physical ones... not really sure what you meant by that.
