CANDYBAR

The 'candybar' (or 'brick') design is a popular mobile phone form factor where the device is a rigid cuboid in shape but small enough to be placed into a pocket (cf. clamshell). It is so-named because it resembles a candy bar in size and shape. This form factor is widely used by manufacturers such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson. The Apple Inc.'s signature iPhone is also made in the Candybar design.
While the flip phone has become the dominant design of cell phones in the North American market, candybar remains the preferred design in the European market.
