Looks like Samsung is seeking Nokia's hole to start making old school devices like Nokia Asha

    So Nokia just have to add a full communicator-esque QWERTY keyboard. But then there is the OS issue...

          AnonD-8044, 17 Jul 2013Or even better this one, http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung... moreNo... I don't like that design. Cause there are a lot of layers to hold the mechanism in place adding to the thickness. 26.6 mm is of that phone. Its thicker than Nokia's communicator E90 or even 9500.

          How about this design : http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_e70-pictures-1323.php
          or one with QWERTY like http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_pearl_flip_8220-pictures-2521.php

Samsung is the only co. who has the capacity to manufacture all types of phones in any price bracket, to people of all ages as long as they think there's a market for it. No other tech co. can match at present.

              So folk are saying about this being silly well I am bored to the back teeth of tapping at a silly piece of glass and sick of looking at what is supposed to be a smartphone and all it is ,is a screen.

              Bring back diversity and design and you get full screen estate with no pop up keypad spoiling view..

                      Oh yes after years of complaining about boring soulless slabs Samsung blows me away again with this..If it has concert hall setting this could be my perfect smartphone..Samsung always pushed boundrys and thought out of box with D600 with sterEo speakers CIF @15fps video with TV OUT..Then D900 with vivid messaging and stress reliever video/audio thing etc..Then Beam with built in projector then massive android clamshell device,then S4zOOM AND NOW THIS..

                      At last something designed with REAL BUTTONS,YIPEEEEEEEEEEE.

                        How can we get this in the US? I know two people who could really use this. They don't want to give up the clamshell phone design, but are starting to get used to Android. This would be the only way they could be convinced to switch to a smartphone.

                                    To Samsung : By putting a little more thought you could have come up with a far better and usable design - a swilled flip phone like this : http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6260-pictures-815.php

                                    As I said far better and usable especially for a capacitive touch screen phone.
