i think each phone maker specializes in something.
-
 are known for their candybar phones, their most successful phones are all on this category
- samsung are known for their clamshells and other small phones
- nokia are known for their smartphones that's priced at the mid-end range of phones
- motorola are known for slim phones and... does bad UI count?
i like the fact that produces more candybar phones, they're more simple to use. i'm not a fan of the clamshell...

@Shaliron :
Are u speaking about a Z550i or some other clamshell .... my friend who got a Z550i along with me ..his phone's hinge seems to be loose now...after 3 months and i should say he is somewhat a rash user... i always use it with handsfree but still i have some concern about the life of hinge mechanism..otherwise there is no creaks either at the hinge or in the battery compartment of my phone

Yeah, I do mean the Z550. I was not impressed by the build quality on the phone. Back to when people were complaining about the Z520. And I don't use my phone harshly either, and it isn't even my main phone so the hinge is not too good.

Is that just a painted Sony Z5/7?  And why is it featured on 3Gmobile?

@Goldenface, I think that is the stillborn Z700 that never released....
Colour screen, answerphone/memo added to Z7 features, would have demolished 8210/8310 etc.......but they canned it(sob!)........

Really? I didn't know that! I loved the Z7 too so this would have been cool. Its funny how the flip largely went out of fashion.

Now you can see why the P-series looks/runs the way it does - evolution, eh??

Because it has not been very popular. It looks kinda awkward
