Reviews The edges of the device carry enough buttons for effective use when the clamshell is shut: for example, you can make calls using an on-screen number pad or voice commands, change volume and use the built-in 1.3-megapixel camera.

Motorola MPx200 review
Reviews The clamshell design offers two notable plus points: there’s no need for a separate case to protect the screen, and there’s more room for keys than on a ‘candy-bar’-style phone, which should in theory mean you get a more ergonomic key layout.

Samsung SGH-Z107 & O2 3G review
Reviews It also provides a number display for incoming calls when the clamshell is closed. The Samsung SGH-Z107 is a clamshell phone that, were it not for the protruding antenna, would feel very small and neat in the pocket.

Asus V6J review
Reviews Its dark slate-grey external livery is matched on the inside, the only contrast being a flash of silver piping around the top and bottom sections of the clamshell edges and a quartet of blue LED status lights towards the back of the lid.

Sony VAIO VGN-SZ2M review
