samsung_dual2.JPGSamsung has recently launched what it touts as the very first dual 2.2-inch screen cell phones, the SCH-W570 and SPH-W5700. Both are 3G handsets utilizing a clamshell form factor with a screen that works on both sides. When the clamshell is closed, the external face of the display shows a dedicated user interface that allows quick access to music, videos, mail, and other data on your phone. No more minute OLED external display to put up with. When flipped open though, the same 2.2-inch screen displays the usual cell phone user interface. Other than the dual screen, the Samsung SCH-W570 and SPH-W5700 phones are equipped with a 3-megapixel camera.

Why do you think they used OLED external displays in the first place? Two words: Battery. Life.
