Everyone I've had just went faulty one way or another or the hinge started to go faulty.

I'm with Damien in this one.

I think it's like a step back in time but will no doubt appeal to some

For some maybe we should all go back to basic nokias

Judging by many of the posts on here that would be a good idea for some users

And you could swap the cases

And have different profiles !

I liked the way you could time them to switch too.

Ah nostalgia.

I used to like my old Motorola which you could swap out the rechargeable batteries for normal aa ones

It's nice to recall but using one again is another matter.

I have a friend who will only use a flip phone he is on about his fourth RAZR V8 and I've struggled to replace them for him many times.

He'll be highly pleased this has come out.

Closest I came to a flip phone was the Nokia 6820 with the fold out qwerty. Good for messaging but now sadly in the hands of dirty tea-leaf.:smileysad:
