Will slider phones brake just from normal usage?

Like any mechanism it will eventually give, that can also apply to hinges on a flip phone, i think with normal use the phone will last well until you desire the next "in phone"...

My RIZR felt very solid, alot better than the Kyocera slider i owned at one point in the past.

In my brief experience with slider phones (I owned one for 26 hours before I took it back) was that it was very strange for me to use, but I've always had flip phones before that. The dealbreaker was that the phone could not hold onto a call, so I took it back and never got another.

The RIZR is a very solid phone. I like it very much. My only gripe is the fact that the keypad is small. I would accidently push buttons all the time when making a call. It felt excellent in my hand and the camera worked fairly well. Im not really a slider person but you cant go wrong with the RIZR...if its yo style.

I like the fact that you can just scroll through your contacts and hit the send button, without the need to slide the phone up to make a call. So far the speaker on this seems to be loud enough.

That's the reason i sold mine, the upper keys we're too uncomfortable and cramped for my use, especially when texting.

The biggest complaint I have with the phone so far is the fact that when I slide the phone to the up position, I accidentally hit the received calls key every time. And the fact that when the phone is down the back light goes out and the lock comes on after only 5 seconds. I tried to reset the back light timer but that apparently only applies while the phone is up.

Sry for the double post, this is a pic of the Z3 compared to a hand. Youll see what im talkin about

On mine i had the option to change how long before i got the keypad to lock, not sure if you can do that with T-Mo's software.

Are you sure that phone in the picture isn't the Z6? The keypad is different on that one as compared to the Z3 that I got from TMobile.

good call...my bad you get the point.

But i do have one of the z3, just not in my hand.

I like the keypad on the Z3 better. The number keys are spread out more making it easier to dial by feel.

Tony E! · 03-22-2007, 1:29 AM

Ok so that is a Z6: I do like that better than the z3 i must say but i like the flat blue finish of the z3.

That picture was taken a few months back at CES. Does the Z3 have a flash on the back?

The only thing with this model is that it doesn't have the rubberized texture like the Z3 does, and that would mean fingerprint magnet as is the case with the KRZR.

Agreed, hence the reason i said like the blue flat finish on the z3...

i'm glad T-Mobile got the blue color, mine was black but i think it looks so much better in blue, same goes for my KRAZR.
