Would this design work for you? I have moved from candy bar to flip over the years and I think in general I would much prefer a flip (clamshell) type design myself. Primarily because I tend to throw my phone in a bag, stick it in a pocket etc and I think it is protected better if it is a flip design.
Another Apple Phone Rumor: Now Slightly More Plausible, But Not Really: “
Although this supposed Apple Phone leak still calls the phone the ‘iPhone’, the rest of the details seem to be a bit more valid compared to all the fakes people try to pass off these days. First, there’s the dual-screen touch-screen system reminiscent of the Apple Patents describing a dual-screen device.
There’s a touch-sensitive bottom section which can be either a wheel or phone buttons—intuitive and sensible—plus the iPod Nano-esque body that matches what other rumors, and Kevin Rose have said.
So is this the real deal despite the usage of the name ‘iPhone’? No way.
