I recall some of the early smart phone models having a slide-out keyboard, the Blackberry being about the most popular, at least a lot of techs where I used to work had them at the time. I've always been leery of putting my phone in my pocket as I figure it is more apt to get a cracked screen that way. I carry it in a case clipped on my belt. So far the only cracked screen I've had was due to my old Motorola dropping about 40 feet down the side of our upright silo hitting a number of steps on the way down and then the last 15 to 20 feet onto concrete unimpeded when I was putting an antenna up there. My brother had upgraded phones not long before and I was able to rob his old screen and keep mine going a few more years. He now has a cheap Motorola that he got a couple of months after I got this Sammy and it has two cracks in the screen.
