twisty type phones are no more likely than candy bars to get the screen =
scratched up... tho it does take some getting used to after slapping =
your phone shut.
advantage is you can get to a lot of functions full screen straight =
away, not via the subscreen.
i note the SH505 now has 3 buttons on the outside of the phone under the =
subdisplay, so some functions can be used without opening the phone (eg =
taking a pic, discard, retake etc).
As a camera the twist-phone seems like a natural digicam with a huge LCD =
at the back (sony), whereas the flips always seem like the lens is at a =
weird 20 degree angle to what you want to photo... unless it's like the =
panasonic P2102 which flips in many ways...
And what were J-Phone trying to prove by putting out all those lame =
european phones at their booth?=20
I understand <1% of consumers are really internationally roaming at any =
one time. Is it worth the risk of associating your brand with those =
super lame euro and US phones for the possible cachet of some =
"international" jetset kone?

// Some of DoCoMo's consultants:

// But I wonder, all these new "turn type" phones:

// I saw more than one person who almost broke them because

// Is it just me who don't see any advantage of turn type phones?
// The screen gets dirty and scratchy:
// http://nooper.co.jp/showcase/gallery.php?s=3D37&p=3D20&l=3Den#c
// It takes way more time to open the phone and they break easily etc.

// What's the advantage?
