Samsung SGH-D307

The Samsung SGH-D307 is a flip phone released by Samsung in October of 2005 exclusively for Cingular. It features a double-flip mechanism, which allows the device to be opened in either of two unique ways: vertically as a traditional clamshell, or horizontally as a messaging device. It also uses a NEC uPD9993 chip for its synth, instead of the usual Yamaha SMAF chips.

The SGH-D307 was only available to Cingular subscribers via mail-order. It is presumed that this hindered sales, along with the hefty price tag and novelty of messaging phones at the time, as it has very little presence in the secondhand market.

The double-flip design was reused for the Samsung Alias series, with the grid-key layout getting rehashed in the Alias 2.
