I've got the K850i and not too keen on the touch screen buttons. The minute the phone comes anywhere near any moisture (including rain!), the buttons have a mind of their own
I've been looking into getting a new cell phone. Since I use an Apple MacBook Pro notebook computer, I'd like one that can use iSync to sync to the MBP. My favorite style of phone is the flip-type.
Could y'all please vote on your favorite style of Sony Ericsson phone and why?
I like the sliders, for the simple fact that not many ppl have them. I dont really get into cell phone coolness. But, it was a 580 or a razr. My mother and father in law have razrs. How cool is that?
I definitely prefer the slidephones. They are less bulky than the "normal" ones, and there are less buttons (no number buttons) getting pushed when it's in my pocket!
I wanted to vote flip, but there's ONE drawback
if you play streaming, close flip shuts down the operation, then I prefer slider
keys are hidden and "external" buttons are locked when retracted, unlocked when extended
Keeping it in the family, sotospeak, huh? About a year ago, my older brother gave us a Nokia Tracfone 1112, which is one of those candy bar/stick types. It's nice, but it's as cheap as you can get. I can see him going through Wal-Mart and seeing these on a rotating display and just decided to get it. I'm not sure what cell phones he and his family use, but his is a flip type.
bar phones have no moving parts so they're less likely to break. They used to have longer battery life than flip phones but I don't know if that is still the case. Personally I'll always stick with a bar phone. I find slider and flip phones can be obnoxious in the wrong hands
I prefer the candybar ones - purely for their simplistic and durable design. I do also like slider phones, but as Partysauce said, they have more a of breaking chance due to moving parts.
Candy bar style so you can just look at it without having to swivel or flip it open.
Doesn't make the screen light up, dark, light up, dark and doesn't need to keep on pushing it open/flipping it open.
i prefer candy bar form...it is the most egronomic design so far in my opinion,you just take it out from your pocket & use it right away...no flipping,no sliding...just take & use..:smart:
