    It seems like everyone nowadays prefers the flip phone style to the
    original "candy bar" style. Is there anyone else who still prefers the
    candy bar over the flip?

    Why do you like flip phones? Is it because the size is smaller and more
    compact? Do they look more stylish to you? Do they get better
    reception?

    I like the flip phones because they're smaller and you don't accidentally
    hit the buttons. I hated having to lock the keys on my old nokia.

    I prefer flip phones mostly for the fact that i no longer have to search
    for a button while driving, i just open and talk. The phones are also
    smaller which is a big plus. The majority of phones produced now by
    sprint are also all flips and have all the new stuff like cameras.

    Produced 'by' Sprint or produced 'for' Sprint? Don't take credit for
    something the comapny doesn't do.

    What do you mean "produced by Sprint?"

    Sprint doesn't "produce" any phones.

    While I think that Sprint has the best selection of flips on the market
    right now I'm kind of dissapointed in their candy bar type phone
    offerings. I think they need more variation in their lineup. I'm kind
    of getting tired of all these flips that look a like. The T608 would
    have been perfect but it appears that one is gone. Hopefully they will
    bring out some new Nokias & Kyoceras before the end of the year or I
    predict alot of people will get tired of the selection and start
    switching to other carriers.

    I was quoting the last post- I know that Sprint doesn't produce its own
    hardware.

    Flip phones by their folding protect the screen.

    Sort like the way a movie producer "produces" a movie?
    "Producing" isn't always synonymous with "manufacturing".

    Not at all like that- very poor comparison. Most people reading the
    post would assume that Sprint manufactures its own phones. While it may
    not always be synonymous with manufacturing, in this case it would apply.

    Let me see if I got that right.
    You seem to feel "most people ... would assume that Sprint =
    manufactures":
    - Sanyo phones
    - Samsung phones
    - Hitachi phones
    - LG (formerly Lucky Goldstar) phones
    - Handspring Treo phones
    - Toshiba phones
    - Motorola phones
    - Sony- Ericsson phones, and
    - Nokia phones
    just to mention a few.

    I'd like to think most readers would know better.

    You are absolutely right- we'll let Sprint and its reps say they produce
    all of their phones, and you and I will argue the semantics of the way
    things are put here. I merely pointed out that Sprint does not produce
    a single phone that is used on their network, and I'll bet that all of
    the companies you mentioned would agree with me. And if you feel the
    need to have a Sprint produced phone, then you go right ahead and have
    one. I won't rain on your parade.

    Scott, I don't know this for certain, but I believe Sprint
    (and other companies, too) develop their own customized versions of
    their phones' firmware.

    Where I come from, that qualifies as one step in the production of a =
    phone.

    Development- yes. Production- no. I frequently develop requirements
    for computer applications and system enhancements. I have nothing to do
    with the actual code writing (aka production) of the finished product.
    Consequently, I am not responsible for the production, only a part of
    the product development (two different things). Sprint, like most other
    cell companies, will have firmware requirements for the phones that they
    use. I think you'll find that the actual code writing and integration
    is done by the vendor, not by Sprint (this is standard practice).
