My phone is a standard candybar phone which pretty much has nothing in it. So wish I could just chuck it out of the window and buy a slider. Although flip phones are cool I wouldnt prefer them. They are just too inconvenient to text. What kinda phone do you have and what do you prefer? Tried every possible kinda phone?

I've tried all the forms and my personal favorite is still the HTC TyTN II. Its quite almost an all in one. You can use it in candy bar mode(touchscreen), slide(QWERTY keyboard) and sort of flip when you tilt the screen about 45 degrees. But for more conventional phones, I guess candy bar is the better one. Its more balanced, especially when one SMS with one hand. Slide phones tend to be top heavy and flip phones just don't have the same kind of balance as candy bars. Between slide and flip, I'll prefer slide though since its easier to operate with one hand.

I have blackberry so I guess it's considered as "candy bar" shaped phone... In my years, I've tried flips & sliders... Matter in fact, my last cell. phone before I got my blackberry was a slider & the one before that slider phone was a flip phone... I've always liked flip phones but I wouldn't mind slider or cany bared ones either...
