Watching mobile TV or surfing the Internet on your mobile phone can be hard and may be taxing on the eyes, especially if the phone is not designed for it. Samsung's SGH-A821, better known as the Samsung Widescreen phone, aims to solve that problem with its dual flip design that transforms your screen from portrait to landscape with a simple twist of the screen.

The Samsung Widescreen is a clamshell-type phone that sports a two-tone silver fascia. Up front, users will find a 2 mega pixel camera, a 1.07-inch external display that shows information like battery life, signal strength, and time, and three touch-sensitive music controls (previous, play/pause, next) that is used for the phone's music player function. The volume adjust button and proprietary port can be found on the left side of the unit, while its camera button and microSD slot can be found on the right side.

Opening the phone reveals a 2.3-inch widescreen display, a front-mounted camera for 3G calls, dual stereo speakers (placed on top and below the screen), and a unique keypad that can serve as a number pad or a full QWERTY keyboard.
