It makes the keyboard easier to use. Those who don't like the idea can simply remove the flip.
3210 --> s35i --> 8210 --> 8310 --> n-gage --> p910i --> hmmm |

lol what about people like me who WANT the flip and not the keyboard.
I'd much rather have a larger screen.

agree 100% with amnesia, the screen size should be larger and the resolution should be more in the league of 640*480. even moto e1000 has a 240*320 screen res. |

The buttons on the flip is the numberkeypad, and the buttons behind is the qwerty keyboard - I think it could be quite nice - except if it means that the phone will be a brick...  |

The current P910 keypad is perfect (a bit too thick, but not that big a deal)
Why split the keypads?
Now, if you remove the keypad, you're still stuck with the qwerty... huh???!?!? why?!?!
Were there actual complaints that the numeric keypad and the qwerty thumb board were on the same piece?!?!!
I do NOT want the Treo/Palm style square screen. Why on Earth would SE want to look like an Treo?!?!?! The Tre/Palm hybrids have the ugliest form factor in the industry today. Talk about LAZY designers. "Gee, a Palm that's a phone... let's put a stubby antenna to make it look like a phone, and a qwerty keyboard to make it look hi-tech.... Done!" Thing looks like a TI Speak and Spell.

So you use it as a phone when you want a phone and as a PDa when the flip is down. The current flip on the P910i is rubbish. feels like it will break as you use it. Not user friendly at all. face it the current flip design is made from what they had to work with. this is a fresh design... or at least they've looked at other solutions on the market and agree this is the best. |

Well I don't think I'll be getting one. I much prefer the sleek look of the P9xx with flip removed. Just a screen - no buttons on the front cluttering things up!
Call me when there's a new model like that.... |

Isn't the whole point of the P series that it can be used as a normal phone most of the time? I never really understood why you would buy it and remove the flip. Even more so on the P910i

Personaly, I must aggree with the opinions put forward here about the design and the keyboard/screensice. I have a P900 and use it with the flip removed. If I need top make a quick note, the sylys will do a good job, a quick SMS, the viritual flop using T9 is perfect. If I ever feel "I need a keyboard for this" it is usualy for wrighting an E-mail, responding to a post on Esato or chatting over MSN with friends or coworkers. For these tasks my ThinkOutside BT Keyboard will do a way better job than any thumbboard!Any phone with a thumbboard pon the actual phonebody, TREO, Blackberry, is uggly IMO and therefore, if the new P series looks like the images wehave seen, I may go over to using a small-phone-with-everything-in-it, a Windows Mobile PDA and my BT keyboard. |

For some people the P910 is used mostly as a PDA, that's why people remove the flip.
Besides, the virtual flip works well.
In my case I've mapped the Phone application to the useless Internet button. I can make most calls with a tap with my finger (on screen shortcuts), and I also have access to a full screen keypad if I tap on the bottom.
Edit: I also got pretty good writing on screen, so I don't miss the P910 QWERTY keyboard.

I've never actually used the phone without the keypad to be honest. Maybe I should try it  |
