Yup, the 8560 is a flip phone, and like I said last evening, I especially
like it because the buttons are raised a little to make them easier to find
and work with.

Is the 8560 a flip phone?  I have the 8300 which is a flip phone and
like it a lot, and I'm due for an upgrade.  I just haven't convinced
myself I need to upgrade.
