Flip or slider for a basic phone? (Update: ordered a slider!)
I have been avoiding replacing my flip phone (had it for over 6 years). I wanted a slider so I'd have a key pad for faster texting. But now I wonder if it is harder to use thumbs on those tiny keys. Is it?
I do just fine texting on my flip phone by the way. No, I am not getting smart phone, I do not need one.

Re: Flip or slider for a basic phone?
I prefer texting on the number keypad too. I think about little keyboard would be awful.

Re: Flip or slider for a basic phone?
You two have conflicting opinions. Guess I'll have to go into the Verizon store.

Re: Flip or slider for a basic phone?
Dh and I communicate mainly via text during the day while he's at work, and I love the keyboard on my LG phone for this (I don't want a smartphone either). The only thing I don't like is the bulkiness of it. I miss my old little Kyocera that was so light and tiny but it was a pain to text on.

Re: Flip or slider for a basic phone?
It's been ages since I had one so I'm not sure how much they've changed since them, but I preferred a slider phone. It took a few days to get used to the smaller keys to text with, but I'm still pretty sure I was a faster texter on my old slider phone than all of my touchscreens since.

Re: Flip or slider for a basic phone?
I had one similar to this five years ago and really liked texting on it.

We have both a flip phone and a slider and hands down I love the slider.

Re: Flip or slider for a basic phone?
For me definitely the slider. The full keypad is invaluable.

Oh, and my phone was randomly turning itself off but that stopped until recently. I'll get the free phone will just have to buy a car charger, if I want one. I don't use the car charger that much.

Since I cannot make up my mind I think I'll just get another flip phone.
