Notes Design

I'm a moderately enthusiastic iPhone user, but must admit that one thing I miss about the telephony experience is flipping a phone open or closed to take or break a call. So yes, it's with a bit of envy that I regard the form factor for Research in Motion's new BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, the first flippable smartphone. The unmistakable tactility and the metaphor of opening or closing a little door for each call produces a subtle satisfaction that can't be matched by watching an icon disappear on a touchscreen.

Which do you prefer?
