You know, I've gone back and forth on this. The flip phone form factor CAN be a pain: it's bulky (with he RAZR about the only exception) and difficult to carry comfortably. The candy bar, on the other hand turns itself on every time you sit down or touch something and a key is pressed. Yes, you can do the keyboard lock thing, but I hate having to enter a code before I can answer my phone... my current phone is a Moto V551 -- which is a very nice (flip) phone, but, I'm thinking about upgrading. That SE that Phong is recommeding looks great.

Juan, with Nokias when you have the keyboard lock on, its just pushing the upper left button, then the * key to get in, very easy. When calls come, the lock is automatically turned off. I hope this concern doesn't deterr you from these kinds of phones.
As far as your wife's phone goes, was it relatively compact? btw, that Moto v551 is a seriously well built phone.
I'm looking at some siemens slider phones. They're pretty slick. Does anyone know, with sliders, of you can answer a call or use the menus without sliding it? It'd be very cool if I'd have to
slide only to dial numbers.
