Samsung today announced the availability of the multi-functional designed SGH-d307, which features a swivel display that morphs the clamshell phone into a virtual mini-laptop.

Is it just me or does the keypad on this looks like it belongs on some calculator from the 80's?

Yeah I went to Cingular the other day and that's what the dealer told me as well. It seems like everyone does something like this now, or partners and sells it the first week exclusively at Best Buy or Circuit City before pushing it nationwide.
Fast and easy way to make money on the gadget freaks.
