If the display is flexible, it means it's soft, which means it won't crack like an iPhone when you drop it from 2 feet...

I agree with Drahmad on this one... the cons on having flexible dispays... wont work... it looks nice at first,., but after a month of use.. watch how distorted the image will become.. geeks are so hungry for innovation that will jump at anyhting this days

ps.. yes he drahmad does look pretty..lol

gallito, can you please provide sources for your opinions? do you have any data at all on that? have you been to the samsung factory and seen it in action? do you know about ANYTHING you speak of? NO? ok then.

The benefit of the flexible display isnt the fact that you can sit there and bend n twist it. yea, sure u can.. but thats for demonstrational purposes. If you actually read the article or used your chicken head brain, u would realize that a flexible display that stands up to a hit from a HAMMER as this display does is nearly unbreakable to drop damage and pressure damage, even in "traditional" non-flexible phone forms.

Number 1 accident on a phone? cracked screen from drop damage (#2 is probably toilet.. yuk)

It will also allow touch screes to be worn like a bracelet or something making all those neat sci-fi arm gadgets possible.

If this had an apple logo you would be hailing the second coming of Jobs.

first of all.. no one hits there screen with a hammer so don't use that analogy.. second... if you fold plastic.. it becomes stronger on the fold.. leaving weakness everywhere else,.,. same with screen... it will fold imagine text not displaying correctly because of the multiple bents,.. that's why Samsung has not produce them yet.. but please bend plastic ruler.. a dozen times.. and see how it becomes... 3D on without glasses was an innovation... see where the EVO 3D ranks in sales.. or how many people uses 3D.. on the EVO... it was nice at its but eventually ..

your correlation of a plastic ruler makes no sense. not all plastic is the same. plastic rulers are ment to be firm. plastic like what seran wrap or shower curtains is infinitely malleable.
you have zero idea about what you are talking about and no evidence to back up your claim.. period.

the hammer was a video Samsung showed of them hitting this exact screen and it not making a mark on it. people may not hit their phones with hammers but they do drop them or run them into corners on accident from them being in the pocket. rh� oPoint is that even if the material is in a fixed state like a regular cell phone it will take a beating a heck or a lot better than current screens.

"geeks are so hungry for innovation that will jump at anyhting this days" Yeah like those Iphone slaves that jump on useless SIRI, which seems usefull at first but then you realize it is useless.

17. gallitoking posted on 01 Mar 2012, 12:03 2

so you admitt that we are both the same.. i am cool with that

11. jamrockjones posted on 01 Mar 2012, 10:55 4

I agree. Why would I want a rounded phone. I like that it won't break, and maybe it will admit more light because there is not glass, but I could care less that I can bend it or that it would be round.

because you would like to strap ur phone to your wrist lol

Those who find it useless are plain stupid and can't see further than the end of their nose.

when the rest of hardware is flexible than this will be great, until than...

yeah its amazing how some of us (ifans) seem to think other things are useless and pointless, but when apple releases them they are game changers. Only stupid ppl who dont think beyond 2012 will think this is stupid and useless (posibilities r endless, samsung doesnt just make phones, plus its companies like samsung that spend alot of money in simplfying our lives instead of putting money and sales first, something Apple should learn). I bet you when the iTV or whatever it will be called, it will shoot straight to top chat as the best TV ever. I luv Apple products but most of the times they dont deserve praises they recieve.
