Trek communicators from TOS. Taken a look at the flip cell phones?

Yes, and I'm amazed that =none= of them flip like the commuicators did.
They are (to a unit) clumsy to open, require two hands to open (or
prying with fingers) and it is obvious that nobody who designs these
things has ever =seen= a Star Trek episode (at least from the original
series).

Hah!

My i500 (samsung) phone opens with a flip of the thumb,


It just takes a bit of practice.
