Whats the go with designs Who like CLAMshells and Why? I like Candy Bar Ones (T610,310,300,230) Because clamshells are just so weak and fat! Weak beacause: "Oh wait I need to make a phone call! Wow look my lid broke off because I bent it too far back!" -OR- "Hey look when I wave my phone around the lid flips shut or breaks off wow!" -OR- "Look at latest and greast phone. Oh dear I can't open it oh hear we are i finally got it open OOPS I broke the lid off!

But Candy bar design are very neat with no breakables and if all your doing is loking at the time it's easy! you just get out your phone and look at it!!! And you don't have to peer at some tiny little display on the back of the lid.

The other thing is they're FAT (some) The cheaper ones after having the kepad and insides they're about as fat as a normal phone but then when you close it becomes this bulging short stuff which You feel uncomfortable wearing in your tight jeans poket.

Yeah so i don't like that Z600 or any other Z Series

Challenge me on this!

Yeah and i forgot to add slider phones are way too fat also like that kyocera one the one that's Au$530 or something extremerly fat. Wel not as fat as sattelite phones but still fat(i like little things like the T230

eh, well size isnt a problem for me.(except the 7700, now thats just huge) i have a 7650, ppl think its big. but i think its quite fine. i wouldnt say all slider phones are fat. like the DoCoMo SO505is. there are many candy bar phones that are fat. 3650 for example. hmmm.. eh! the t230 is really ugly. small yes, but really ugly

DIE FAT PHONES

I don't like phones with more than 1 layer i guess too complicated more things to go wrong - like colour screens = stuck pixels = @$#%
