Mobile Phones - your preferred type?

[ghosthunter]

What is your preferred type of mobile phone?

Candy bar? Sliders? Fold/Clamshell? Touchscreen?

What is your reason why you prefer that style...

[ghosthunter]

I prefer sliders... it combines having a big screen and big keypad for easy operation yet when closed, it's smaller than the combined total "surface area".

Downside, the cable connecting the upper and lower half of the phone does fail over time but replacing it is cheap and quick.

i go with candybars and touch screen phones of the candybar oriented type. ang ayoko sa clamshells at sliders, pag bumagsak, yari ang cable

So far my two sliders have survived a number of falls to the floor with no negative effects aside from the dents and scratches on the case/body.

I would say that touch screen phones are more prone to damage in a fall simply because of the large LCD screen which may crack if dropped to a hard surface.

Because the poll is about your first choice of phone form-factor .... not about the phones you have used or currently using.

yeah... mas prone sila pag nabagsak dahil more sensitive ang screen than the cable of sliders and clamshells.

as for my suggestion, ok i understand what you mean sir
