The point of this being...?

I guess this might serve as a somewhat replacement for those who aren't too fond of big display phones and rather have a physical pad than a virtual one.

I'd be in for one!

I am still using a clamshell as a second phone. When we are talking about PHONES and not mini computers clamshell is just perfect for the job. I do have an Android phone as a primary, but I do prefer talking to the clamshell.

I think Samsung made a mistake with the external screen. There was no real reason to make it 3.3''. A 1.5'' for information (who is calling, who sent that message, what time is it) would have been a better idea. They should stick to the past for the design and just add today's technology to it.

I dont know about anyone else, but i really miss the physical qwerty keyboard on phones..

Why does it need a quad core processor in a flip one, what can you possibly be doing on it that it needs one?

 

[JRAtk94]

No thankyou, Samsung.

 

[kittle]

I'll take one.

more like talking into a real "phone" headset as opposed to a pack of gum

seems interesting. a price and an international release date would determine if its worth anyones money though. this phone wouldnt be all that useful for people who normally use their phones as secondary PCs, but would definitely fit the ones who use their phones casually for calls, texts, and emails.

Samsung is offering something that Apple doesnt - A choice and selection for consumers.

'Obviously, with two screens to power, battery life is a concern'

Obviously only one screen would be active.

Why a quad processor? It is running Android and is a smart phone.

This was the official "Jackie Chan" phone that was sold in China for around $10,000 if I recall correctly. Saw quite a few wealthy businessmen using this.

Include me as someone who wants more qwerty phones. Although I don't "miss" it as I still have my Droid 4.

 

[southernshark]

Well I do miss real phones. My old Razer was better for talking than my Nexus 4. I have actually been thinking about buying a Blackberry.

 

[Darkk]

Buying a blackberry?? LOL. Haven't you heard? They are going out of business. Yes they are trying to find a buyer but honestly I wouldn't spend a dime on them.
