Also, is it just me, or does that thing look huge? It looks like it's probably as big as the Pearl, except you don't have to unfold the Pearl to use it.]]>Apr 30th 2008 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/May 1st 2008 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/May 1st 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/I guarantee that LCD screen breakage occurs FAR more often than hinge breakage - I've never had any issues with either but none of my friends have ever had a hinge break on their clamshells - but many have had screens break. However, it's usually the OUTER screen, not the INNER screen - which is naturally protected due to the design.

So I counter your comment by saying "Why would anyone by a candy bar style phone, leaving the most delicate and expensive part of the phone completely exposed? Furthermore, what about accidental keypresses forcing you to enter in codes to unlock phones and whatnot? It's easier for me to flip my clamshell open than to enter in an unlock code.]]>May 1st 2008 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/May 1st 2008 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/May 1st 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/May 1st 2008 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/first-ever-blackberry-clamshell-phone-unmasked-dubbed-the-kick/
