Just noticed an eBay sale for a “clampshell” cell phone. It should, of course, be “clamshell” cell phone. For anyone who wishes to view the eBay description, it is at url:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Motorola-V170-G … dZViewItem
Google gives a good number of hits indicating that others, also, are saying “clampshell cell phone”:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n … cell+phone
“Clampshell cell phone” makes sense since this style of cell phone does flip shut with an action that some could view as clamping.
