why there's no other FF?
candybar, clamshell, swivel, slide, twist
actually, i'd rather prefer candybar because there's no squeaking for sure and also the lifetime of the phone will be simply longer because there's less parts moving... however if you want to change your style, just use clamshell phone.

i think that's a myth. after reading several mobile phone forums almost every day since about 2003, i've yet to read about even 1 incidence of a hinge wearing out. i've still got my old v500 from 2003 in full working order, software-wise and hardware-wise.

I have a V620 that was only used for a year before the hinge became so loose the phone would not go into "closed" mode.
a) granted
b) your opinion. In my view candybar's are easier to talk on.
c) Again your opinion, not any kind of established fact. Candybar's can be stylish and unique also.
d)Can't see it myself. A clamshell is a clamshell, a candybar is a candybar. btw, SE introduced the two front's concept, which represents the first time a manufacturer recognised in the styling that the phone was also a camera
e) again this statement is pure personal preference, not a statement of fact.
f) not everyone finds the hugely massively cumbersome task of enabling the key lock to be as burdensome as you find it to be.
g) this comes down to keypad design and has squat to do with form factor
h) Cheap clamshells have small screens just like cheap candybars. Phones like K800, W900 etc or better yet symbian phones have much larger screens. You don't seem to know your candybar's very well.

first i had a candybar phone... the disadvantage of it when you locked the key but you can't avoid pressing the key esp. when your phone is in the pocket. but i changed my mind when i got a clamshell phone... the internal key pad is safe you don't need the lock button.
so now im a fan of clamshell lover. i love flip phones.

Hm.. I prefer candybars.
Sliders are good, too.
