Have you ever had a slider phone?

How did it work for you? Was it flimsy? I got a nokia 6805 and i really don’t like it, but i have 30 days to return it, so I’m looking at the LG Shine. It has good ratings, but im kinda wary of it cause my brother’s samsung sgh-d807 (which is a slider) broke pretty fast. The screen cracked and he doesnt even know why. He didnt drop it or anything. A couple of the ratings on the shine sound just like what happened with my brother’s phone, but most of the ratings are really good, so im thinking some people are just unlucky. There are 676 ratings on the att website for the silver LG Shine and 386 people gave it 5 stars and 25 people gave it 1 star..so it sounds pretty good. but yeah. my second choice is the LG CU515. its basic and boring but reliable.

I have the LG chocolate slide phone - it’s ok…but I won’t go back to a slider again. I text and email a lot from my phone…I need a qwerty keyboard next time.

Don’t worry, they aren’t cool phones, they break!
I wouldn’t have another, I’d stick with a candybar phone next time :)

Yeah, it’s cute, the only reason I have it really. But though I’m not really into all this mp3 and camera jazz, if it texts and calls it’s good enough for me :)

Where did he keep his phone, was it in his pocket and also find out what the name of the battery it was, as these are very important to know and what year he got it in as he may have been subjected to a new free phone.

He let his friend borrow it and a couple hours after he got it back, he noticed the screen was cracked. It was cracked in such a way that the people at the store said it was an internal crack, and he mustve dropped the phone. he did drop it once, but it was months before the screen cracked. It was awhile ago, and under our plan we get a new free phone every two years anyway.

I have a slider phone, got it a few weeks ago because I washed my flip phone :S
It is a samsung SGH-J700, in PINK :P but it does come in black too, for all the functions it has and everything with it I would say it is very much worth it’s price but the price does depend on what network you want it on, Mine is on Virgin so it was only about £50 and now the sales are up and going you may get it for cheaper, who knows.
I tend to break thinks just by looking at them so I find this slider phone is very sturdy, which is good as it needs to be around me lol

P.S, I find that if you are still not sure of a phone after a day of using it then you ain’t gonna get used to it so I would deffinetly take it back if I were you. Find something you do like.

I think it is just about what your into at the time, nothing to do with being old, I don’t think your passed it shie!
I used to like the flip phones and I had one for about 2 years before I washed it :S so this time I went for a slider, didn’t think I would get on with it but I did and I am really not able to learn gadgets and things lol

I work off of the latest Blitz Verizon slider. Dark blue :) Yeah, mine got damaged once in the rain. Would have cost me 300US if I didn’t pay for the insurance.
