Am I the only one who thinks that looks ok? I wouldn't mind trying it out.

Many people like flip phones... most of them in asia and in the US: See the Success of flip phone (eg. Motorola or Panasonc) for example in the US and the usercount of phones like this here in europe.
As soon as i get one, i will take a look at it, but im still very happy with my Bold and Curve :-)

Motorola raised the bar re flip phone aesthetics with the RAZR.
