What happened to the Sony Clie?

I can remember back in the day when I first set my eyes on the UX50. What a beauty I thought and even now, 6 years on, I still look at it and think what if they had continued the line.
I thought the clam-shell design was very functional with its swivel screen and camera. Everything on it just seemed so right. Imagine how one would look now with the technology of this day and age. A big bright OLED screen filling out the front of the device, great graphics, blistering speed with a slim form factor and space for a full sized physical keyboard etc.
I really believe they made a mistake when they announced that they would discontinue the device. If they were to make a new similar device I know for sure that I be one of the first to snap it up.
So what do you guys think of a new PDA/phone coming out with a clam-shell, swivel screen action design?

Haha it's more like the Blackberry Storm, though. But I guess the Captivate is pretty like a Storm itself

Wonderful Chinese do it all phones... They imitate look of almost every phone, and all tout: dual sim, wifi, TV, FM radio, touch screen. Hell the specs aren't bad just always bad interface, that iPhone wanna be OS.
Wonder if they built Android to work with their phone if people would give the Chinese knock offs a chance

Oh yea how long before we all have Wrist Watch Phones w/ Camera & Bluetooth.
Also noticed on that site, knock offs that are running android, even capacitive touch according to the site.

That looks like the new Blackberry lol

i had a friend that got a chinese iphone
it had space for 2 sim cards and made an unchangable barking sound when you got a message
lol

lol Im going to go look for this now lol

Epic fail.

I personally am glad that this is a Samsung. Better screen quality and it doesn't weigh 5 or 6 pounds. Not to mention the fact that it probably would have come with a locked bootloader at least initially.
It is pretty sad that their marketing department overlooked such an obvious error.

Any other Samsung phone besides the infuse and I'd be wishing it were an HTC too.

I almost said something but didbt want to sound like a smart alic.

hmmm.. why all the hate on samsung? My infuse is freakin amazing. Way faster than my dual core tablet was, sexy UI, takes less than 5 seconds to root. Granted the battery life isn't GREAT and it takes 5 hours to charge, but that's how samsung does it, amazing performance comes at a small price.

Cellphone for elderly, shaky hands?

I need to get an inexpensive cellphone for my Mom. She's elderly and has Parkinsons Disease, so her hands shake a lot.
Are there any good cellphones with large buttons that are extremely simple to use?

I'm guessing something strong too
I remember Verizon used to sell an indestructible phone that was waterproof and hard to break

Just to update the thread, I bought a Dell Streak 5 with the 5" screen.
But somehow broke it.
Now I bought a Samsung Infuse with the 4.5" screen. Time to ROM & Roll!

Yes I also agree the Big Launcher will be fine. If you are looking for simplicity and easy to use. Have a look at John's Phone (https://www.johnsphones.com/ww/en/)
The price seems to be not too bad and it has many designs to choose from.

LG Optimus Nexus (LG-E960) Leaked Photos

The first pictures of what we are expecting to be the LG Nexus (LG-E960) appeared giving us a glimpse of what Google has in store for November. Many of you were quick to point out the case surrounding it that seemed to be some sort of a dummy box, meant to disguise the device. Previous rumors had stated that the device actually looked more like a Galaxy Nexus in shape and size.
LG Nexus phone that the internet can’t stop talking about, and according to an XDA user, this is that same phone. He hasn’t said much about it’s origin other than a “random source” gave it to him and that it seems like a prototype.
As we can see from the pictures, it’s running stock Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) and carries the codename Mako. In the past, Nexus devices all hid under fish names until they were released, so this at least looks good for the sake of this being a Nexus. The shape and styling are as plain black as you can get, but it does have on-screen navigation keys, something Google introduced to smartphones with the Galaxy Nexus.
Other than that, we have a couple of side shots that show a volume rocker and power switch on opposite sides of one another. We can see a camera with a flash on the back side and an LG boot animation (which is odd if this is a Nexus).
From the About screen, we can see that the device is running JellyBeanMR1 and goes by the codename Mako, just like the device from earlier. The camera on the back isn’t branded with 8MP or 13MP, but we are expecting it to be one or the other, just like in the two Optimus G variants..
What do you guys think? Liking? Hating?
