Sidephone’s candybar-style phone with swappable keypads expected to ship in January

The Sidephone is a modern phone with an Android-based operating system and a touchscreen display. But it also looks like a classic dumb phone with a candybar-style layout featuring a small screen above a numeric keypad.
