        AnonD-156746, 16 Jul 2013ever heard of nokia......I'm not a fan of WP8, so have just little knowledge on it. Thus I won't buy a WP8 phone to my mum since I can't help her if she is in trouble on it.

        And did Nokia ever released a flipped WP8 phone?? And if you are saying Nokia Asha, it is just a feature phone (to me), and my mum is a crazy fan of Candy Crush....

        Anyway, am not hating Nokia, just my opinion.

                        Anyway, but personally, I will be happy to see Samsung release a flipped Android phone with a classic alphanumeric keyboard, and base on the rumored spec, it should be a mid/low end device, which suits my mum's needs. Coz she juz find touchscreen is rather hard for her to control, and BB qwerty keypad is same to her too. But it is still a rumor, wait for official announcement and hope Samsung price it at a reasonable price.

                          Great for the elderly who like tactile buttons, plus the benefits of a smart phone.

                            I do like clamshell phones, the thin ones, still remember my Motorolla Razor V3 :)
                            Would like to have a clamshell again... preferably made by Apple - sleak, thin, well bild, with Apple's attention to every detail :)

                                " Now there's a good reason why the folder form factor are almost extinct now" Do you mind telling us what that reason is?
                                Anyway, I hope this news is true. My dad would love this. He's been refusing to give up his clam shell Samsung (which is in really bad shape) because he only wants this form factor. I've been struggling to find him a new one for a long time.

                                    The pictures are not of the new Folder phone, It's actually the "Dual Screen Samsung SCH-W2013" which was released last year for around $3000US
