Yes, a "flip phone". What of it? That was one of the reasons I didn't get a BlackBerry when I finally broke down and got a cellphone. I'd much rather have the keyboard protected inder a flip lid, and it's certainly more comfortable to use. And that (amongst MANY other reasons) is why I would never get one of your beloved "whyPhones".
