- wildzzz 4y agoThe original sidekick is the earliest pivot phone I can think of. The Samsung Juke came out several years later but I don't think it sold that well because of how tiny it was. I don't expect any pivot phones to sell that well. For that LG phone, what are you supposed to do with the bottom screen? It's wasted on media controls, how often do you need a fully unobstructed view of a video while you are pausing or fast forwarding? Games make sense, the DS took advantage of a second screen but this requires games to develop just for this second screen. Video editing makes the most sense as long as there's a video editor out there that can take advantage of the second screen but also document editing too (but who really wants to do this on a phone?).

- Findecanor 4y agoThe LG Wing feels like the spiritual successor to the Sharp Aquos 912SH, where you flipped and then rotated the top half. (mentioned elsewhere while I was trying to remember its name)
