With the iPhone soon to be live onstage, cell phone makers are scrambling to come up with products that will rival their competitor, and Samsung has devised an all-in-one wireless device that gives two-sided uniqueness.
Samsung is labeling it the UpStage perhaps in the hopes that it will upstage the iPhone - whether it will or not we will have to wait and see. What we do know is that the UpStage does have some very cool aspects to its two faced design.
Weighing in at just 2.57 ounces, with 1.73 inches in width, 4.07 inches in height and 0.37 inches in thickness the phone has a small sleek design. It also comes with a faux-leather carrying case with a built-in second battery. This makes the phone’s initially good 2.5 hours of talk time jump up to 6.3 hours.

We Americans spend over 500 million hours per week in our cars - while making 70% of our phone calls.
The California Highway Patrol, conducted a study and found that making and receiving these calls via hand-held cell phones, were the leading cause of accidents generated by distracted drivers.
Now we have chosen to add to the distraction, by not only reaching for our cell phone, but also by rolling the click wheel on our iPod, switching stations on our satellite radio or trying to work our satellite navigation system - all on separate systems, placed in separate areas. This can then cause random scrambling as our cell phone rings - still in our purse, or reaching for the iPod after it is dropped while attempting to change songs. These two or three seconds of looking down is often all it takes for the wheel to turn, or for something to happen in front of you seen too late when your eyes return to the road.
