The first Treo was kind of a flip phone, although the flip part had no functionality... it was just a cover.

Kyocera made a flip smartphone probably 4-5 years ago



Worked pretty good, but nothing is like the blackberry as far as functionality.

I had a Handspring Treo 300, All the flip did was cover the keyboard and put a window over the screen. I loved that phone, 1st Qwerty smartphone.

You're right it isn't the first BlackBerry like flip phone, it is the first Blackberry flip phone.

Didn't HTC make a winmo device that was a flip phone? It was pretty cool. I will try to find an image....

The Samsung was definitly similar to the kickstart with the suretype keyboard......I think that is where the similarities end though.

That was the ugliest phone I have ever seen (the Samsung). I can't wait for the KickStart.

The HTC flip-smartphone was branded the Cingular 3125 in the US, and I have no idea what its original name was.

This is what it looked like:

That was my first smartphone as well. IIRC, there was a speaker in the cover so you had to flip it open to use it. It and the GSM 270 were revolutionary device for their time (2003?) as the first color display smartphones running POS. Naturally, they came from Handspring, not Palm.

Startrek was the official moniker for this device, far from a BlackBerry though, ran WinMob 5, believe it or not I speak to people on a daily basis who SWEAR by this device.

RIM is covering all the bases....

I actually had this phone. It was the size of a house

The 1st flip smartphone I had was the Samsung i500. I could never seem to hold onto this phone. I have no idea what it was made of, but in order to use it, I needed superglue in my hands- cause it was bound to go flying out.

LOL true, but I thought with the Samsung you could do BB E-Mail, or so I've heard...

And a support nightmare!!! Damn I still hate that phone

Personally, I don't like the moving parts. Too many places for dirt to get into and parts to break. The only benefit I see to a flip is being able to put it in my pocket and not accidentally dial someone when I bend over
