According to Phonescoop.com, Samsung was grated a patent this week for a new hinge design. The dual hinge will allow 1 half of the clamshell to rotate a full 360 degrees. Which means you can flip the screen over to close either way. I remember my college roommate had a Sony Clie that had a screen that would rotate like hat.

The idea is that both sides of the screen would have different buttons and interfaces and you would spin it open depending on what you were doing. Phonescoop mentiones the E90 but I am thinking more like N95 flip phone action only it rotates all the way around.

Anyway combined with Samsungs ability to make freakishly thin phones, this sounds like a patent I could actually get excited about.
