Some months ago my old mobile stopped feeding, and and since the warranty had expired I had to buy a new reasonably cheap phone fast. After all I can't live without one! So I decided on a flip phone, since they looked kind of cool. So far I had only owned candy bar telephones. Now I have had my flip phone for about four months, and to tell you the truth, I do not like it much. I can't say I hate it, but unlike the old ones I wouldn't be sad to see it gone. I find the endless flipping annoying. And since I live in a country where text-messages is the normal way of communicating (gossip, making arrangements, getting job-offers, sending in tax reports....), there is a lot of flipping during the day. So, since I at the moment is slightly not-poor I planned on using some money on a new phone, which I really do not need, but would very much like. I have contemplated a slide phone, but am worried that the sliding will annoy me equally much as the flipping. So I turn to you my wise LJ-friends, slide or bar? Or is it just me who hasn't understood the beauty of the flip phone?
