My wife's old Z600 (recently retired) has a loose hinge and that would certainly put me off clamshells, but I did like being able end a call by snapping shut my former V800.
Keylocks are a pain in the @$$ and automatic keylocks worse IMO.
I'm convinced sliders are the best. Roll on the W910! Also looking forward to the LG Mag-Lev slider phone...

All the best phones are non-candybars.
W900, N95, N93i, U700, RAZR2, Z6

N73, K750, W800, W810, K800?
By the way, the last three phones you mentioned suck.

Not the Z6 and RAZR2. They're excellent phones. Dont just say it because they're moto.

there is no competition between the 2. clamshells, hands down....without a shadow of a doubt. the reasons:
a) clamshells protect the screen and the keypad
b) the shape of a clamshell makes it feel like a landline, with the mouthpiece next to the mouth and the ear next to the earpiece. candybars always felt so unnatural to talk on.
c) candybars are mostly ugly and are unstylish. clamshells are stylish.
d) there is little scope for variability between candybars. you just have to look at SE candybars to notice that they all look the same. a few differences in the key shapes, but that's about it. clamshells have a much wider scope for variability between models.
e) they feel common as muck.
f) it's possible for a candybar to dial 999 when in ones pocket.. that's not possible on clamshells. a few years ago, a friend of mine called me around early evening. when i picked up the phone, all i could here was him walking down the street because i could here is footsteps and the odd cough now and then. it seems that he's dialled my number whilst his phone was in his pocket. this is not possible on clamshells, but is common with candybars.
g) keypads are far too fiddly and difficult to use on candybars compared to clamshells, especially because i use my thumb for texting.
h) the screens in candybars are far too small compared with clamshells.

clamshell is good; your internal display is well protected
downside is; if you get dust/sand etc between you keypad and screen it will result in many scratshes on your display
candybar... i like it best, no slide or flip to accespt a call... just press and talk
