2-direction slide
I’ve had a crazy couple of weeks, this last one especially, and blogging has suffered. I usually make myself drafts in GMail of things I want to blog about, but I haven’t had a chance to go back for over a month. I just found this from Feb 12.
I’ve been making little sketches to myself for years of what I think is the perfect smartphone form-factor. It’s simple really, a slider mechanism that goes 2 directions. Horizontally for a full keyboard, and vertically for simple phone controls and the numerical keypad. Although my sketches are a little different, Samsung is the first to bring out a phone that is very, very close, and looks very good. If it weren’t for the impending release of the iPhone, this Samsung F520 would be on my wishlist.

I will buy the iPhone just because it has an ‘i’ in the name.
Also, I wanna throw my contact list around with my finger.
