Talk:Bar (form)

Merge with other forms?
The articles about phone forms are all stubs. Maybe they should be merged into a single article? Articles concerned: Flip, Slide, Swivel, Brick. 204.104.55.241 (talk) 13:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

CandyBar is also the name of a software for modifying the appearance of MacOS.

Clamshell has taken over the market? Nokia is still first manufacturer, and it makes mostly candybar models. It's probably still the default mobile form! All companies still produce candybar models. GSchizas 08:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Where is the article about candy bars?
This is pointless, I was looking for an article about candy bars (like Mars), not something related to cellphones. TheBlazikenMaster 14:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Name change
Slab (form), or Bar (form); the two are more accurate and official, than the more colloquial "Candybar", and would also be more in keeping with Brick (form). Fonez4mii (talk) 10:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I think there needs to be a variation betwen Bar, Slab, Candybar.


 * Candybar is longshaped and usually thin
 * (e.g Panasonic 3.5" TV-phone,, from Wikipedia iPod article...etc.


 * Slab is rectangle (with roundshaped edge
 * e.g. Blackberry version that has no keyboard at all), iPod Touch / iPhone.


 * Bar is very easily confused to Bar. They are usually not skinny in width. Nor are they sharped edges. Most cellphone and smartphone are barshaped.
 * (Note in here, width is not equal to thickness).
