flip vs. slider phones

[smiky]

---

just want to gather opinions about slider phones vs flip phones, im thinking of upgrading my phone and see which is which , which design to go

slider :

1. dali ra ma scratch ang screen
2. accidental key press

fold

1. ang outer screen ra ang dali ma scratch
2. sturdy daw compared to slider according to Yahoo Answers


seriously , im thinking of upgrading my phone and my girlfriends' phone as well so we are kindda stuck which one to choose.

slider :

1. dali ra ma scratch ang screen
2. accidental key press

i've got a slider (samsung d880). dili man ma accidental keypress if naka slide down ang phone. mura raman naka keypad lock. about sa scratch sa screen, how bout ang bar-type phones? exposed man pud ilang screen, same with slider phones. although maka expect jud ka nga naay "wobble" sa sliders. kanang ma lihok2x cya gamay ba. i think tungod na sa space where it slides. sa ako rapud ning experience

in the end, imoha na jud nang preference sir. either flip or slider phone ba. good luck!

i prefer Flip phones. The reasons you stated above are right. I have a Motorola flip phone and it's still brand new looking in the inside. Sa gawas ra ang naay garas ky wala naman nko nabutang ug pouch. Don't go for the slider phones. mawang-wang na dayon na because of friction sa sige ug slide2x. bati na dayon kaayo ky humok na kaayo mu-slide.

Both type dali mag ka problema sa FLEX



Mahal dyud ang flex + service ana.

But I prefer flip type kay daghan nako nag guba nga slide sa una 7650 ug 6111. Ang common nga flip type ron is Motorola phones ang slide mga Samsung.

Bar type nalang bro para di mag ka problema, daghan man bar type nga nindot pud.

7650 was the very 1st flex type slider phone in the world...they are getting better at it...

same ra ang duha...basta naay flex, prone gyud na maguba compared to none moving parts na phone.

personally i never used to recommend flip or slide phones for that reason...

but also admitted, 90-95% of my current phones since 1996 are flip/slide phones hehe
murag n73 raman tong naka break sa record.
get phone with at least 1 year warranty...even if you open and close it a million times before that 1 year is up and the flex gets busted its free to replace/service...and do what i do...i always get rid (sell) of my year old gadgets with flex for a newer one
no worries

in all my years of using flip and slide phones (since 1996 with the 8110 matix/banana phone to todays N85) never have i had a phone that broke in under a year. so safe to say the flex should hold up...just buy a new phone yearly (diba the networks give out free phones like clock work) nothing to worry bout.

magaras? sus oi...get a screen protector...most slide phones come with free screen protector when you buy it...if not you wont need to spend more than 200-250 on one at the most...
