We passed some news your way recently about a new Samsung SPH-B5200 gaming phone. But what we didn't know at the time is that the slider moves in two directions, so you can either get a game controller or a phone pad depending on which way it slides.

Pretty neat idea that appears to work well. As the mobile device market heats up, we are beginning to see form factors galore! So why not the simple clamshells? Designers think people don't want them. Just wait... they'll be back.

Clickable thumbnails after the jump.
