The form factor is mostly dead now, but there still seems to be a market for it in East Asia.

          I like this. I hope they also release this clamshell phone in south east asia. I'm bored with current designs of touchscreen phones, all looks the same.

                    I love flip phones and would love to see a flip android phone on sale in the UK as would others no doubt.
                    Slab shaped phones get very boring in the end.
                    I have a lovely Nexus 5 in bright red but would love a flip version.
                    Come on guys bring some to the UK they will sell!!!!

                                It's a very beautifull flip phone, flip phone rules. :)

                                  Athull, 19 May 2014This thing is gonna be a beast in terms of performance if i... moreIndeed.........

                                    I've got the SHARP 007SH with a swivel screen, and it's all I've ever dreamt of. I used to and still love flip phones, especially the Japanese ones, and mine is fully unlocked with a kick-ar$e camera and specs.

                                    I love the look of this Samsung phone for once.

                                      This thing is gonna be a beast in terms of performance if it does pack a SD80x on a 480p screen.

                                        The article fails to mention why these phones are made, they are actually meant for heavy texters/chatters, a physical numeric keypad is still the fastest way to enter Korean and Chinese characters.
