Just curious looking at all of the phone designs these days. AFAIK, Motorola first came out with the swivel design. What about the rest of the styles? I have an idea/impression of which manufacturers started which styles but I open this up for discussion as I may be wrong and it might be interesting
*Edit*
First Flip = Motorola
First Clamshell = Motorola
First Slider = Siemens
First Swivel = Motorola
First Colour Screen = ?
First External Memory Capable = ?
First Detachable camera = Ericsson
First Onboard camera = ?
First MP3 Capable = Ericsson (detachable)
First FM radio phone = ?
First 3G phone = ?
First Downloadable Games phone = ?
First PDA Phone = Ericsson
First USB charging phone = ?
First Polyphonic Ring Capable phone = ?
First Joystick phone = ?
First D-Pad phone = ?
Please feel free to add, edit, correct or confirm the list with specific models

The old Motorola analogue phones used to have a flip about 5 years before the R380.

Thanks for the link, that kinda sums everything up. I did think Nokia 7650 was the first slider- well I was wrong, that's why I was quite reserved on sharing my thoughts in the first place. Excellent article

Though I think the 7650 was the first phone to have an integrated camera!
