I don't like phones that flip...they break. And considering how often I drop my phone, I need a sturdy phone. The Motorola SLVR is such a phone. It's skinny, without being too thin to fit in my hand and have a nice sized display screen. The only thing I'm not crazy about would be the camera...it takes fine pictures for being in a phone, but not great pictures for sharing. That's fine though, I carry a camera in my purse.
