Tried without the flip and the touch screen has some problems.

The virtual buttons are too small to use your thumb and i'm always either picking up the wrong number or not getting a number at all.

Also, this is going to sound stupid, but I can't feel which number I am picking. I don't always see what I am typing and as such I feel around the pad for the number I want. With the virtual flip, you can't feel a thing.

Also, one more important thing, the flip protects the screen.

I learnt how to use it 100% with the flip off, now I have customised it to work as I want it (shortcuts etc) and have put the flip back on.

I find it's much better now to have the options in FC mode if you can't be arsed to get the stylus out, and the multitasking in FC mode is sweet... going to messaging then doing a Get&Receive then closing the flip whilst it checks for emails / mms in the background is great!

i find it fine using the virtual flip, no probs at all and it looks a lot better too. Also, all u people that say the flip protects the screen, there's been people reporting that they've broke their screens using the flip bcoz the buttons create pressure on the screen when in ur pocket etc

You can lock the pda-screen just by pressing the scrollwheel on the eft side forward

Yeah, but i will be using it in school and i dont want my precious touch-screen to get damaged etc.. is the touch screen tough enough to withstand being in a pocket for a while without being cracked or damaged (i am not talking about being in fights or whatever ) I would prefer it without the flip, but dont know about the screen-- also do the screen protectors help at all? e.g. do they protect well against scratches etc

I was also afraid of damaging the screen with the flip off. But once I bought a Brando screen protector, I have been using the phone without the flip since. It makes the phone smaller and cooler looking.
