I used to like clamshell phones. But I’ve been using touchscreen phone for a few years now. And I don’t think I would be interested in this phone anymore. Also, it’s quite thick. Although I really can’t make a fair judgment yet. Sometimes I feel differently about a phone once I actually hold it in my hand.
