did you find that video on /r/cringe? that skit was very hard to watch. Wow your phone has a flexible screen, here's my phone number call me so I can suck your dick sometime!

That whole a hot girl will fuck you if you buy our product marketing is so weak and played out. It insults me when I see it.

Yeah it was a bit lame. The feature showcase part of the presentation was much better, but meh. Sex sells, no matter how lame it is.

That hipster was entertaining though. I won't say what archetype he reminded me of though

A phone that opens up into a tablet though... freaking genius.

Yeah, I would love that - I never minded the thickness of my old candybar phones.

But the highest appeal of flexible screens is so they can absorb/transmit shock waves. I.e. no more shattered screens. I'd totally go caseless if I had a flexible screen.

For big phones, you not only have to worry about the bulk of the phone itself, but also the possible bulk of an added case.
